As the iPhone and iPod touch gain a larger and larger market share, you will begin to see more and more sites that are formatted specifically for the iPhone. Being the lazy bastard that I am, I really didn’t feel like creating an entirely separate site that was formatted specifically for the iPhone, that’s where these new WordPress plugins come in handy. If you want to make the frontend of your site available to iPhone users, you can simply install the iWPhone WordPress Plugin and Them found here: iWPhone.

The iWPhone Plugin and Theme allows you to activate and deactivate iPhone functionality for your site just like activating and deactivating a plugin. The way it works is when the plugin is activated, it checks the User Agent, and if it sees that the User Agent is either the iPhone or an iPod (the iPod Touch to be specific), then it simply loads the iPhone Theme that comes with the download.

My only complaints about this Plugin/Theme is that it currently doesn’t offer category support. Basically, when someone views this site, they will only see posts listed as most recent to least recent, they don’t have the option to view a category listing.
