Mobile devices can be really handy as they are portable and can work on-the-go. That is why it is important to have Joomla working with these devices so that articles can be created anywhere, anytime. Joomla by itself can be viewed with mobile devices but it may take a lot of bandwidth and this is return may be costly. That is why it is better to have it optimized as in the long run it may be a lot easier and handy as well.
Joooid – Joooid is Joomla client for Android based devices. It has an article manager that allows articles to be created. These articles can contain images, a map to show where the article was created at provided that the device has GPS support and many more.
MobileBot – This is truly a powerful extension by Jorge Pablos. Whenever it detects a mobile device visiting the site, it changes the template to a mobile version. In fact, different devices may use different type of templates making it very customizable as well. It is a must have for any Joomla sites especially those that are having a lot of visits from people using mobile devices.
Mobile Joomla – Previously known as Pda-Plugin, Mobile Joomla detects a mobile device and instead of giving the default template, it gives a mobile template to the users. This allows them to have a lightweight site that will not burden them too much in bandwidth.
