I am posting this from a mobile phone just to prove it can be done.

However more work needs to be done to make it easier and'cheaper.

How things are at the moment.

If you don't want to download the whole frontpage then use this (gulp!) URL:

 https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/uk/servlet/OpenMir?do=opensession&sessiontype=article&language=en&to_uk=&nrmediaitems=0&nrftpitems=0&dontpost=Text+Only+Publishing

Which takes you, more or less, straight to the the publish form. From there on it is a doddle if you have a qwerty keyboard. Make sure though that graphics are turned off in you phone browser to save on cost. Also some browsers don't work so find one that does. Currently I am using the Symbian inbuilt browser because Opera Mini won't hack it on the Indy page but it works fine on other sites.

People are currently beavering away on alternatives to make mobile access much easier. When and what the outcome will be is in the lap of the Gods.
