So without futher ado, here's the new interface. From now on, the first time you visit our former static mobile site with a smart phone, we'll present a choice to use the new interface (which will optionally set a cookie to tell us to leave your cheese damn well where you left it). Beware if you click on those links outside of chrome or safari (or basically look at it in anything not based on webkit); most mobile browsers are built around webkit, and we optimized the css for those browsers. We apologize in advance to anyone using mobile IE. (Oh wait. No we don't. You have no one to blame but yourself or, more likely, your employer.)
Features include:
* Unlike the iphone app or old mobile, it's designed to work on anything that has a touch screen (android, iPad, that thing you put together in your basment).
* On listing pages, we've added infinite scrolling to save on page refreshes.
* On comment pages, we've cut the thread depth to five for now. The small screen makes longer threads hard to follow.
* The button bar on each post has been moved into a pop-over toolbar to save screen real estate
* The arrows are 50% larger, meaning that properly clicking them will no longer rely on instantaneous Brownian motion of you and your device
We're not going to pretend this is a 100% working app, and slapping a label like "beta" is so 2005, but we will say that all of the most common tasks have been tested and are working (commenting, messaging, submission -- we even have a mobile bookmarklet worked out for the iphone with an android one in the works), but you'll notice some major omissions (/prefs anybody?).
As such, we're open to and encouraging suggestions, improvements, and constructive criticisms (though I'm confident we'd never, ever have to ask. Well, maybe for the "constructive" part.). The code backing this is going to be available in our next open-source code push, so everyone working on their own version of reddit will get their own mobile site too. ...More

If you have an iPhone or an Android phone and you’ve ever visiting reddit.com, you know it sucks. Reddit has never been about design, but the text is so small and the layout is spaced so poorly that it’s basically impossible to use and read on a small screen. The mobile optimized version of Reddit isn’t much better. Today, that finally changes. Reddit has completely revamped the mobile web version of its site to be absolutely usable on touch screen devices. Gone are small, virtually unclickable buttons and links — with the new version, it’s all big buttons and easy-to-read coloring. Of course, iPhone and Android phones have been out for years, so why only make the change now? Well one reason is that they’re sick of Apple’s App Store. Ever since early 2009, Reddit has had a native iPhone app, but it hardly ever gets updated. The reason is that
