I agree with Valerie. I just looked at, possibly, the worst of my websites to view on a tiny little screen with my iPhone 4s [ http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~okcslsa/index.html ]. With the phone in landscape it was just the teeniest bit wide. If I scooted it to the left just a bit it was fine. Other than that it scaled and looked as good as on my 23 inch desktop monitor. Even the embedded video looked good. That site is WAY more small screen un-friendly than just about any other site I have made. If it shows well then the others ought to be fantastic. The iPhone 4 is ancient technology. Almost no cell phone made now has a screen that tiny. And, there was ever only one tablet I know of that was that tiny [ I have one ]. Virtually everyone looking is going to be on something with a screen much larger than my iPhone.
