Having nothing better to do with my lunch time today, I decided to wander around the forums with my T-Mobile G1 Android phone. Here I am, posting!

No WYSIWYG editor, but I didn't really expect it to work.

A cosmetic annoyance with the plain text editor, the composition window insists on being a little wider than the G1 screen in landscape mode. It jumps left as I reach the end of lines and wrap. It scrolls right as I type the last few word or so before it wraps. Annoying bit not fatal. On most sites large input fields adjust themselves to the width of the screen.

IAC, it's nice to know I can "forum" more or less comfortably.

I can post in this forum with the WYSIWYG editor using Safari on the iPhone and with Opera Mini on the Tilt or Tilt 2. The built-in IE on the WM phones only lets me read things from the forum.

Jeff,

>> Opera Mini on the Tilt or Tilt 2. <<

I ran Opera Mini on my Treo 680, posting to the forums worked, but not reliably. Formatting of simple messages often got garbled.

>> I can post in this forum with the WYSIWYG editor using Safari on the iPhone <<

Very interesting, because with Safari on a Mac you can only post here with the WYSIWYG editor if you put Safari in developer mode and lie that you are Firefox. I wonder what iPhone Safari is reporting itself as? iPhone Safari and the Android browser are very close cousins, both built on WebKit. With the G1 I run into sites that think I'm using an iPhone from time to time.
