I developed it when I bought my first PDA about 4 years ago. It works great on my blackberry and the library catalog that is maintained by our regional library system isn't pretty but is quite functional. The hardest thing is remembering to keep the mobile site updated with the main site. The Kankakee Public Library has a special mobile site (www.lions-online.org/mobile).

It still functions well on a small screen though it doesn't meet your criteria for "special version" - maybe I'll have to create a special version too, but I think as the technology (such as iPhone) improves, there will be no need for these special versions.
