openSUSE:Mobile
In Hackweek IV, at the beginning of 2011 we started to evaluate how to bring our tools like the build service, openfate feature tracking and SUSE Studio to mobile devices like the iPhone, Android or Blackberry. Instead of writing native apps for each of those platforms, we created mobile versions of the pages, that have a look & feel like a native app.
Just start the web browser on your mobile and visit one of the sites listed below. You’ll automatically be redirected to the mobile site.
