Learning2.0 : Journey to about2findout.com

A first draft of the mobile version of about2findout.com is online now. Just like its big brother, it is a web-based quiz site, but in a stripped down version. It is multilingual English and Dutch, allows you to log in with your about2findout.com userid, has a high score section, has limited profile information, and allows to do random questions. At this point in time, only multiple choice questions are available on the mobile version.

Here is how it works:
- With your iPhone or other mobile phone, browse to http://www.about2findout.mobi
- The home page has buttons for random question, log in or out, changing language, viewing your profile, the hall of fame with high scores, and an about button. You cannot register for a new account with the mobile version, but you can use the one you created on the about2findout.com site here. You can always go back to this page via the link on the top of the screen.
- Push the button random question (pink button) to get a choice of 3 random questions. If you want one of the questions, click the arrow button next to it. Or push the refresh button to get 3 new choices.
- You can only do multiple choice questions at this time. Select the appropriate answer via the a, b, c, d, e or f button and get feedback. (You cannot get links or more information, just basic feedback.)

So far I got it to work on an iPhone emulator and on my own Windows Mobile 6 device, but it needs a lot more testing. Let me know how it works out!
