Installation

If you have WordPress 2.7 or newer installed, the installation can be done with a few clicks:

  • Enter the admin page and select “Plugins”
  • Scroll down to the section “Get More Plugins”
  • Select “Plugin Browser/Installer”
  • Search for “WPtouch” and install

Otherwise you have to go the manual way.

Problems with WP Super Cache

If you are using WPtouch together with the WP Super Cache plugin you may run into trouble, I solved it with the following steps:

  1. In Settings->WP Super Cache add the following Recected User Agents:
    iPhone
    iPod
    aspen
    dream
    incognito
    webmate
    BlackBerry9500
    BlackBerry9530
  2. Add the following line in your .htaccess
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !^.+(iPhone|iPod|aspen|dream|incognito|webmate|BlackBerry9500|BlackBerry9530)
    This line should be inserted above the following existing line:
    RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html -f

Skype for iPhone and other Mobile Devices

April 10th, 2009 Category: iPhone

Finally there is an official version of Skype for mobile devices like the iPhone available. Download is free and it comes with the features like:

  • Free Skype-to-Skype calls when connected to a WiFi
  • Call phones and mobiles from your iPhone contacts at great rates over a WiFi connection
  • See who’s online, send and receive instant messages on the move

Download link to Apple Store is available on the Skype homepage. Downloads are also available for other devices and operating systems like Mac OS X, Linux, Windows Mobile and others.

Sure it comes with some restrictions when using it over 3G (UMTS):

“Most 3G networks should support Skype presence and chat.  However, Skype calling is not possible via the iPhone. Please note that data usage costs apply for using Skype over 3G mobile networks, so we recommend an unlimited data plan.”

Skype everywhere… unfortunately maybe not yet in the subway.
