Jeff Hodsdon made the announcement that a mobile version of www.digg.com has officially been released to the public. I knew about this back then, but completely forgot about posting about it.

Hey everyone –

It’s even easier to access Digg on the go with the new mobile version of Digg. This enhanced version – found at m.digg.com – is perfect for phones that support the full web browsing experience, such as a Treo, Blackberry or that new iPhone you just waited in line all morning to get.

This version provides:

- Multiple views of the most recently popular stories. Just as on
Digg, you can tab between the filters to see stories popular in the
last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days and 365 days.
- Increased visibility to distinguish between media types. If the story
is tagged as ‘YouTube’, you can click to play the video directly on
your iPhone.
- The ability to favorite stories when logged in.
- Improved usability when surfing between various stories.
- The ability to load more comments on each story.
- Snappier page loads due to less javascript used on the site.

In case your phone doesn’t support a robust browsing experience, we continue to provide a basic mobile site at diggriver.com.

Enjoy!
- Jeff

The preview image they provide within the blog is of an iPhone, which is why I figured I’d post about it here today. (Oh, and also because Digg is one of the greatest websites ever created.)

The website looks fantastic on the iPhone/iPod touch, and is much much easier to browse through than the desktop version of the website.
