SITE NEWS: We are moving all of our site and company news into a single blog for Sports-Reference.com. We'll tag all PFR content, so you can quickly and easily find the content you want.
Also, our existing PFR blog rss feed will be redirected to the new site's feed.

ShareThisPFR iPhone Users: should we style the blog for the iPhone
If you read our blogs on your iPhone, you will know that the site on the iPhone looks just like it does on a full browser. WordPress has a plugin that can present the blog in a iphone specific format to iphone users. Do you (a user of the blog on your phone) prefer this format on the blogs you read on your phone?
This change would not affect non-mobile users in any way.

Is the iphone version just iphone, or applicable to all mobile browsers? I use Android, and would really love a version of the site that looked good in my mobile browser.
I really don't like when sites try to force my iphone to a mobile specific site. The iphone doesn't have trouble viewing normal sites.
I own an iPhone.
The blog on iPhone: Meh. It's only updated once every couple days so I can wait to read it.
PFR (and BBR and probably other S-R sites) as an iPhone app: Hell, yeah. I'd love it. I might even pay a couple bucks for it, and I'm a notorious cheapskate. Being able to look up stats as quickly as I can when I'm at my desktop would be great. Yes, I know I can go through the web browser to get to the site, but between the loading and having to zoom in and scroll around, it's a major PITA.
Anyway, I'm just one guy, so take my vote for what it's worth (and I have no idea what the time and expense would be on your end), but I'd love to see S-R apps.
I really hate when websites give me a different layout when I'm on the iPhone. The machine was DESIGNED to surf the normal web. Please leave well enough alone.
