I just got a data plan on my mobile. I pretty much do not need my computer anymore since I do so much with my mobile phone. The neatest thing is that I can even watch naughty movies:) It is pretty neat, it's called Mobile TV. All I do is point my phone to sexoncell.com and they have adult mobile movies in different formats like 3gp movies, symbian, pda or whatever. If you have any other cool

Thanks Bobbie. I have seen some changes, and they've all been good.

I do note that some routes (the 5, for instance) that have two end points on the outbound route, and the status report doesn't say which is which. It would be useful in some cases to say "Bus 403 to Ypsilanti" vs. "Bus 395 to Meijer Carpenter Rd" instead of just "Outbound".

"My mobile browser doesn't support tables, so the text of bus status is a little hard to read."

Are you sure that's the problem? Just pointing firefox at it and looking at the source html (it's all just http and html, right?), they appear not to be using tables at all, just text with <br>'s between, and everything inside <center>'s. No surprise nothing lines up right....

I tried it out on my Blackberry 7100t (T-Mobile). Here's some comments.

The page works, and it's functional as is. It loads fast, has just the data it needs, and gets the job done. Good job!

It could be better.

The AATA logo is kind of big and fills up the top of the little screen I have, so I have to scroll to get bus info. A smaller logo would still work
