GhanaBee.com On The iPhone

In case you didn’t know, I run a little toy called GhanaBee for you news junkies to receive the latest Ghana news headlines on your cellphones. Every 30 minutes, this little toy steps out to automagically grab the latest news headlines from major Ghanaian news websites, and renders them for proper display on mobile devices. It also sends free SMS alerts via the Twitter API. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first and only website of its kind out there.

I have a small but loyal (and growing!) users, and I’ve received really great feedback from these folks. But the funny thing is that I’ve never owned a phone capable of accessing the Internet before! So I’ve relied on various cellphone emulators to optimize the display.

Anyway, today I discovered this little free software called iPhoney which brands itself as a “pixel-accurate” iPhone emulator. This is how GhanaBee displays on the iPhone. Cool, huh?
