\"\"<\/a>On July 11, 2008 — 11 years ago this week — Apple released the iPhone 3G, the first mobile phone to provide high-speed internet access to the masses.<\/p>\n

Today, over 2.5 billion people own a smartphone; about 25 of them, give or take a thousand or two, read this blog on occasion.\u00a0 I have been told that some of you (namely, my daughter) might read it more often if this site were more mobile-friendly.<\/p>\n

Readers, your long cyberspace nightmare is over.\u00a0 As my spouse can attest, I have spent most of my spare moments the last few weeks replicating the look and feel of this site for phone\/tablet users.\u00a0 C’est arrive<\/em>! as a French programmer might say.<\/p>\n

Of course, a few compromises had to be made for the mobile version.\u00a0 The sidebar items (including The Trend) moved to the bottom of the page.\u00a0 The person-of-the-day photo did not survive the transition.\u00a0 Some posts with text and images nicely-arranged for desktop may not flow so nicely on your phone.\u00a0 But the content and navigation are there.<\/p>\n

A fun way for you to explore the new mobile site is to enter a random search term (other than rutabaga<\/em> or theosophy<\/em>) and see what pops up.\u00a0 Probably something interesting that you missed while waiting for this mobile moment.<\/p>\n

As always, thanks for reading The 100 Billionth Person<\/em>, now on the device of your choice.\u00a0 Let me know what you think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
