The WPtouch plugin for Wordpress basically comes to action when somebody with a mobile browser hits your blog page. When they do, the contents of your page are displayed in a super sexy layout very native to the phone. Everything is very easy to read and access.

There are a number of great bands involved including The Shins, The National, Wolfmother, Broken Social Scene, Stars, Metric, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Bloc Party and Bon Iver. The designs are a lot of fun as well.
