We officially launched the new mobile website that is optimized for webkit based mobile devices like the iPhone/iPod Touch, Android and Palm Pre/Pixi.
Access the site by going to: i.roanoke.edu
New City from Blacksburg, Virginia designed the site and my team of crack student programmers hooked up the backend with some coldfusion and javascript code. Also, we used some great detection scripts from http://detectmobilebrowser.com/
I’d like to thank:

- Seth Western
- Natalie Horvath
- Jared Anthony
- Miaojing Li

Overall we have gotten great feedback and I think it is a wonderful addition to our mobile lineup! We are planning a launch party of Pizza, Mountain Dew and Counterstrike on Friday, watch Twitter for details!!

Great job, everyone! I love it!
Nice job guys. My only comment would be that “sports” launches in a new window breaking the flow for users who rely on to navigate. Probably a reason for this I don’t know about but thought I’d mention it – otherwise well done!
Thanks Brian –
We are going to get that athletics link fixed. I noticed it myself last night.
@Brian – the sports navigation link now opens in the same page so back navigation won’t break.
