Redirecting Mobile Surfers?

At the pace things are moving, we're likely no more than 12-18 months away from much of this discussion being irrelevant.

For porn purposes, WAP is useless. For the smartphones with 3G which can actually provide a decent surfing experience, the browsers will converge toward looking the same way as desktop browsers. iPhone and Android are most of the way there already. Blackberry not quite as slick, but if you're patient enough to move around the page to find what you want then zoom in, it's usable.

Video is same deal. Right now, MP4 is a good one size fits all. It's a business decision as to whether you think it's worth the time to also provide a special version for Ipod/Iphone users to make 'em look sharp. With a small userbase, may not be worth it. With a userbase the size of Carol's, you've got a decent base of Apple users no doubt, and their demographic is conducive to loyalty if you cater to them.
