Well - this is, how i define "bad" ;-) A good design should not require different sites for different devices. Only for "extreme" cases - e.g. display on the small screen of a mobile phone with just 240 x 320 or 320 x 480 pixels may need a "mobile" version. But an iPad ist way off these limits - according to <http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/> it offers 1024 x 768 pixels. Well - designing elements to be handled easier with a touch interface may be the point here - but then again it should not be assumed that every touch device is iPad-like with a specific resolution. Android exists as well and 800 x 480 is also a very common value.

Start again. :( Compression seems to work now - now just around 1 MB to load. Well... still a lot, but better than nothing. -- Arno Welzel http://arnowelzel.de http://de-rec-fahrrad.de
