Cutting Edge Content in the Palm of Your Hand

Researchers on the go can now access JRSE directly from any mobile device equipped with a modern web browser. Simply point your web-capable mobile browser at

http://jrse.aip.org/

to view the entire site optimized for display on devices such as the Google Android, Blackberry, iPhone, and iPod Touch, and devices running Windows Mobile, among others.

JRSE will automatically detect that you are using a mobile device, and redirect you to the mobile edition. (To preview JRSE Mobile's new, streamlined rendering from your desktop, simply access http://jrse.aip.org/mobile from your laptop or work-station right now.)

JRSE Mobile differs from the desktop edition in several ways designed to make reading on your device easier:

• all HTML pages are formatted for small screens, including tables of contents, search results, and abstracts
• some data have been suppressed from select HTML views to enhance readability
• a prominent ‘Navigate’ button opens a menu to explore the site in mobile mode

All mobile devices with a web browser should be able to access JRSE Mobile with no difficulty, but full functionality – searching, use of article-bookmarking tools, and other article actions – is limited to the latest mobile web browsers, and requires JavaScript be turned on.

The JRSE Development Team has programmed to redirect automatically for the following devices and operating systems (browsers may vary by device): Android (Google), Blackberry, iPhone (Safari), iPod Touch (Safari), Palm (WebOS), devices running Opera Mini/ Opera Mobile, Nokia SmartPhones, Sidekick, the Skyfire mobile browser, and devices running Symbian and Windows CE.

If you’re new to mobile browsing, check out the Opera Mini-Browser (http://www.opera.com/mini/), a fast and free lightweight web browser that works with many of the latest-generation web-enabled phones and personal devices. Additional information and links can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_browser, Wikipedia’s page devoted to all aspects of mobile browsing.

If you’re inclined to use JRSE Mobile heavily, then please consider answering a few questions about your experiences and preferences for on-the-go browsing. With the relaunch of AIP’s online journals this Fall, each will feature a mobile edition, and we’d like to factor your feedback into improving the presentation and functionality.

Special Note for iPhone/iPod Touch users: You can save a JRSE Mobile icon to your main screen by following these simple steps (view the image at left larger to see what your screen will look like after adding the icon):

STEP 1: Click the plus sign (+) on the bottom bar of the Safari browser.
STEP 2: Confirm by clicking "Add to Home Screen."
STEP 3: Click the "Add" button on the top right-hand corner of the screen.

Please note that reading JRSE Mobile may require a data plan from your mobile service provider; contact your provider for more information on available plans and related charges.
