Reviews on the JED seem to tak a few days to appear so I thought I'd let you know what I thought:
My site doesn't strictly merit a mobile platform but it helps: wickit.co.uk. I wish I'd looked for this two days ago
Considering what it does, this is a remarkable package! The default installation worked perfectly and with the use of platform appropriate modules and plugins provides super flexibility.
I had actually spent a couple of days building a semi-clone of my main site for mobiles and was contemplating the oncoming difficulty of keeping the two sites in sync. Had I known about this two days before I would willingly have forked out a decent sum for it.
However it does have drawbacks, of a minimal sort. First the ads, take away from a business website so I removed them using the FREE plug-in [guys you really should charge a few bucks for that!] Secondly, for testing purposes I used iBBdemo2 and when I switched to "Standard Version" I could not switch back and could not clear cache on the simulator. To avoid the cache problem I disabled that module too, in case it affects devices I have not had a chance to test with. Finally some of the modules do not display well on the mobile, particularly wide forms. When I have time I shall create mobile versions in hidden menus on the main site to get around that too.
Overall in my opinion, an essential extension.
