In the mobile phone world, there is one that has received tremendous advertisements on the television and other media. The Apple iPhone has been enjoying an almost unstoppable victory dance in the run up to Christmas and is more than likely going to be on most gadget lovers wish list for the coming sharing of presents.

Yamaha Personal Keyboard Owner (YPKO) is now compatible with the Apple iPhone and the iPod Touch for those of you who like to keep an eye on the sites information while out and about. With its own theme especially designed for a small screen, you can enjoy many of the features taking advantage of the touch screen. The device is automatically detected when you visit the main site.

Features include:

• News
  Monitor all of the sites latest news on Yamaha keyboards and digital pianos.
• Features
  Read articles, reviews, educational guides and much more in this vast section
• Podcasts
  Links you to the YPKO Podcasts in iTunes for easy streaming and downloading to your mobile device
• Forum
  Access to currently over 200,000 community posts on our discussion forum

It is important to note that there is not currently a mobile theme for the Forum, Buy & Sell or F.A.Q. sections. The forum will in the future receive a mobile theme, however to do so now would obliterate certain features that members love and I am not willing to do that. When I am sure I can make the upgrade without affecting forum features I will then add a mobile theme for ease of use.

A mobile theme for Android users who visit the main site will hopefully be released in the near future.

Twitter

You can also monitor site news updates and my personal commentary / photos via the YPKO Twitter and my personal Twitter accounts. Both have RSS feeds if you don’t wish to use Twitter itself, but I recommend you follow both.
