Aviation Websites Designed for Small Screens

Hello Everyone,

I have a PDA phone with wireless Internet. It's running the Windows
Mobile OS and has Microsoft Internet Explorer. I was wondering whether
anyone found any good aviation websites that were designed for small
screens like PDAs, SmartPhones, etc. Please respond to this posting
with any good websites that you found helpful for weather, flight
planning, etc. Websites only please (i.e. no software). I appreciate
the help!

I use ADDS from my PDA all the time. Usually when I'm at dinner I'll
pull it out and check the wx before the flight home. The screen is a
little too big but you can easily scroll around it. I can get radar
returns, sat pix, TAF, FA, etc

Here are my PocketPC favorites::

Change "PHX" to your station if you don't live in Phoenix .

AOPA has a "textual weather" page at their site that can get you to a
single page with all the TAFs and METARs for a particular state in the
U. S. without too much scroll-bar wrist pain. The "choose a state"
drop-down list box just happens to land on a good place on the screen
when Pocket I. E. is in "fit to screen" mode, and the resultant data
displays well in that mode also.

http://mobile.srh.weather.gov/ has some good small-screen weather info
including (lousy but functional) animated RADAR.

NOAA textual "Zone Forecasts" like the one at
http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/for.../az/azz023.txt are well
suited to the small screen. az/azz023.txt is Phoenix, the other U. S.
"zones" are described at
http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/products/zones.txt.

I'm a hobbyist PocketPC programmer (former pro software engineer, but I
do mostly analog and digital hardware these days). I've cooked up some
code to download and animate RADAR and sat graphics on the PocketPC.
I'd share, but it's not really fit for public consumption yet. You're
not looking for software anyway. Sure would be nice to have an
interface to DUATS tailored to the small screen also.
