I think this is a big step in the way to make Joomla available for mobile phones, but there is work to be done.
I've installed the plugin in Joomla 1.5.22.
Tested it and found out that it does not work correctly with Iphone. The submenu items do not get displayed. Asked about this to their support forum but the response is slow and still there is no solution. In the meantime tested it on an android phone and the submenu got displayed correctly. After changing to another submenu and going back to the 1st submenu it also does not get displayed.

very simple set-up from download on computer to viewing mobile site on iphone. Works very well!
Note that if you have the sh404sef "Enable template switcher" enabled, it will not allow mobile joomla to do its thing. Disable the template switcher in sh404sef (if you have that installed and running), and allow mobile joomla to do the template switching. this will give it more options to switch since MJ is will serve the template based on the mobile device.

I have spent years looking for something that worked as nicely as this extension. I spent years trying other extensions for mobile Joomla websites, and found them all lacking. I had all but given up on having a mobile Joomla site...
Then I decided to give MOBILE a try. I run a site with 30K+ daily visitors... Absolutely ZERO issues, immediate, great output on Blackberry and Iphones. Lots of template customization possibilities. Give this one a try, it's highly recommended!

Excellent extension! Does exactly what I needed. Not recognizing Blackberry torch at the moment (at lest on my site) but I haven't looked into that yet and I don't know if the torch is supposed to be supported at this time or not. Don't even care about that really, as my target audience is iPhone and Android.
Thanks MobileJoomla!

I installed this component and spent about 15 minutes looking though the configuration. It worked perfectly for me right out of the box, at least for iphone and blackberry. Those are only phones I tested it on.
One warning: this component adds about 70 megs to your sql database size. No kidding. According to developer, this is necessary to accurately detete the hundreds of mobile devices. Unfortunately, this large size could prevent you from restoring your database. On my host, phpmyadmin has a 50 meg limit, so when my site when down, I couldn't restore the database. I finally removed all the mobilejoomla tables and the sql file went from 74 megs to 3.2 megs.
Since I only care about iphone, blackberry, and android devices, it would be nice if developer could create a config that would eliminate all the other tables and reduce the database size.

It was never so easy to create a fulli functional Website for iPhones and other mobile devices!
Just install the Plugin, SetUp your desired Modules and done! You have a working and nice-looking iPhone-Website!
And the best thing: It's for free. I'd like also to donate something to this genious project. Whrere can I do this?

Have been searching for a mobile converter for awhile and tried several, this is the first one I was able to make work and work it does, perfectly, nice conversion out of the box and many configuration options to dial it in. Three Cheers to the Captain!!! But where do I donate $ for the effort?
This is the perfect extension if you're looking for a fast and easy way to have your site go mobile! It looks great and worked immediately. No problems whatsoever.
It works out of the box, if you want to use the standard templates provided with the install. To be honest, it wasn't a big deal to change the template to my taste.
I think the are still many improvements possible, but this is a real good component at this time. Make it possible to choose if you want an Ipad to see a custom template, general template or the pc-template (no redirect) and I will give this component 5 stars.

Wow, installed it and saw a different version of my site on a mobile device instantly. I had no problems with this extension, very solid extension. Look forward to what the developer has install for this in the future.
This all installed ok.
But the mobile plugin stops my site from showing on a computer - it displays only a blank page.
Could not get it to work on mobiles either.
