This extension is a huge step in the right direction, but I take away points because it still requires some major CSS tweaking to make a fully featured site work on an iPhone. I have some features, such as image slide shows, that completely break the iPhone layouts.
This would work great, I suppose, with relatively simple sites or blogs, but it does hobble full Joomla installations.
I'm looking forward to future versions. It's definitely the best solution available in this category.

Thanks for your feedback roadsider. Following Joomla!, we are focusing on a high performance and stable core, which would be expanded with extensions. This, as you say, is aimed to provide solution for relatively simple sites. Once we achieve this, we will introduce Mobile extensions to mobilize more complex Joomla! sites.
Very satisfied with this new extensions. Easy to use. Although i was a bit surprised at the size of its sql data after installation (around 20MB). I think that's one huge data for one component. So uploading it to production website (online) should involve compression which is rarely situation in the past for me (for a simple joomla website).
Anyway, this is one of the best solution to mobilize joomla. Many thanks to mobilejoomla.

Version 0.95 (not yet on JED right now) has ironed out some problems of the earlier release and works pretty smoothly.
Very impressed for an early version and high hopes for future releases.
Image resizing (including turning all images off completely for super-fast loading) I believe is not offered by any other mobile Joomla component.
Works straight out of the box and can be fairly easily customised in half-an-hour to do what you want it to.
However, it does not work perfectly with JomSocial or other larger-width components. They still work but look somewhat ugly.
Documentation is fairly poor, however, it is surely still early days in development...
Cheers, great work!

I really like this extension.
But what I'm really missing is the control of the output. It would be great to hide certain divs (ids, classes) or another control of the output to tell joomla which what to display for the mobile user and what for the desktop version. Many extensions (in my case jomsocial and jreviews) are not usable with that extension. I hope the developer will add more features (I'm willing to pay some bucks if it gets better).
Unfortunately in the forum are many threads which have not been answered. That was a reason not to use it. Because if you have problems you can't ask somebody.
