I'm looking for people to test the following new small screen formatted site on various devices. I've heard from Blackberry and Treo users but not much from the Windows Mobile crowd. Any comments, suggestions, or problem reports are welcome. Please let me know what device you used and the resolution. Here is the site info.

NIST.org has now made their IT Security News available on the Small
Screen. By simply typing 'nist.org/small' for the URL on your handheld
you can access current IT security news from various sources.
NIST.org/small aggregates IT security newsfeed headlines from NIST.org,
SANS.org, and FIRST.org. Additional information will be added during
serious threat conditions. Headlines and summaries are specially
formatted for Blackberrys, Treos, Windows Mobile device, or any other
handheld with an Internet connection. NIST.org links go to full news
stories that are handheld formatted. Even the URL is small as we figured
you didn't want to type, poke, or scratch too much from a handheld. Know
what threats are facing you at work before you even get there!

Overall = very nice - added to my mobile favorites on my Cingular 8125.

One thing I found not ideal (and this might be my error, not sure) was navigating back to the 'Small Home' so to speak - didn't see an easy way to do this other than using the Back button. In fact, in just a few minutes of working with the site, found it easier to accientally end up at the home page of the full (not mobile optimized) NIST site.

Definitely like it, and I work in IT and read on security regularly - so Bravo for your efforts and glad you're doing it ...
