RTÉ has redesigned its mobile site – m.rte.ie. The site is now optimised for current and ‘next generation’ smartphones including iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry and a variety of others mobile devices with Webkit or Opera based web browsers.
The site has been updated with improved touch screen support and larger smartphone displays in mind. It features a selection of content from RTÉ.ie’s four main editorial strands as well as live streaming of RTÉ News Now, weather, lotto, cinema and TV listings. The enhanced mobile version of a new Lifestyle website on rté.ie is also under development. The new site is built with HTML5 and CSS3 – the first RTÉ website to do so.
A basic version of the mobile site is still accessible at lite.rte.ie and all users with unsupported handsets will be directed to here.
stated, “We’re always looking for new technologies that we feel bring something better to the user experience,” says RTÉ Publishing design and production manager, Michael Lisovsky. “We feel that HTML5 does this.”
