Mobile VideoSift Now Available on Droids and iPhones
We sort of mentioned it in passing a little while back, but it's worth mentioning that we have launched a mobile version of The Sift for your handheld/mobile devices. The first time you visit (with most devices) it will auto-detect that you're on a handheld and redirect you to the mobile version. Or you can just type in the address yourself:
It's a very slimmed down version of VS with just the bare essentials (videos, logging in, and commenting) so that you can still have a very fast-paced VideoSift experience when you're on the go.
Below are a couple of photos of some mobile devices in action. (As an aside, it's really interesting seeing them side-by-side to note the difference in screen size and quality between the Droid and iPhone/iPod Touch.)
Motorola Droid:
Apple iPod Touch (note the marks from rubber bands used to attempt to lessen the slipperiness
).
Enjoy.

gwiz665I don't see the pictures. Other than that, excellent. This is what videosift has been needing for a while.
blankfistI saw this a couple days ago when I jumped on VS from my phone. Then it was gone again. Very snazzy.
brycewi19Sweet! That'll be much easier to access on my phone!
Plus one of my vids is in the screen cap!
gwiz665Ah, the pictures are stored on bayimg. That's blocked in denmark and sweden along with thepiratebay.

schmawyI've been enjoying this very much. Thanks!
MikesHL13Very nice. Thank you!
volumptuousJust noticed this a few days ago and was quite happy to find it. Thanks a zillion for the hard work guys!
xxovercastxxIf anyone is wondering, it's a no-go on Blackberry.
Not that anyone suggested it would work, it clearly says Android and iPhone above, but figured I'd give it a shot.
lucky760What's the problem with it on Blackberry? There really shouldn't be a problem with it, but I don't have a Blackberry, so I can't check it out myself.
EDDIt's very modern and nice, but if, for example, I enter the URL of my queued videos page on my mobile browser, I'd prefer to see that page open right away, preferrably in m.videosift format. At the moment however I have to click on "View VS in FULL" at the botton of the page every time I open VS anew from my mobile
lucky760It should only auto-redirect you one time. Do you have cookies disabled on your device? What device is it?
KevlarHey, Lucky! Awesome work on this! I know that you have the "View VS in full" link on the mobile page - any chance you can put a "View mobile VideoSift" in the bottom footer of the normal page, so I can flip back and forth without having to clear my cache?
Thanks!
Farhad2000Works great on my Nokia E71!
Nice one!
