Chipperdog mobile is now available at http://m.chipperdog.com. This is a new website that was developed for smart phones such as Blackberries, iPhones, and Android based models. The site is optimized for screen widths of 320px to 480px but can be viewed in larger windows such as tablets and PCs. This site is not fully complete but the main features are active and it even has some features our main site lacks.
What is it? Chipperdog mobile is a website you browse to just like on a PC. It is not an App but you can create a shortcut to it on your home screen (similar to an App).
Features: Live AJAX updates of local conditions, hourly airport (Metar) updates, Forecasts by location, Almanac, Maps/Radar page, and Local NWS Advisories (currently only visible if there is an active advisory). Update data packets have been optimized for mobile and only require a few hundred bytes per update. Smart caching was also enabled to keep data to a minimum and to speed up the site.
Options: Click on the wrench icon (bottom right) and select default forecast location, default Metar, live update interval, font size, and more features to come.
Upcoming Features: Additional Almanac entries such as record highs/lows, graphs, link for advisory page, statistics/trends page, revised maps/radar page with controls and more features.
