Mobile sites served to iOS

Two interesting things I’ve discovered today. Both the mobile Facebook and Flickr sites you get served in iOS are faster and more reliable than their iPhone counter parts.

How sad is that? Also, this doesn’t look entirely well for the people working on their native iOS counterparts. I’ve been frustrated time and time again with both Facebook’s and Flickr’s iOS apps that I’ve given up on them entirely.

All I do now is open Safari and visit Facebook and Flickr and choose “Add to Homescreen” and I’m done. If you’re not already doing so, give it a try and see if you like the experience.
