PDA-friendly Amtrak site

[Bob Russell]

Amtrak, the US passenger train system, has provided a site that is just for connected handhelds such as the Treo or Blackberry.

"You can now access your Amtrak profile, make a reservation or check train status while you are sitting in a taxi or sitting in the park.

There is no need to work with technologies such as JavaScript or Flash. With a customized content interface for each device, use of the screen space is maximized and the content is organized for handheld devices and mouseless navigation.

Easy to view. Easy to book… It's the nation's railway system in a convenient, handheld package."

Thanks to Jason Taylor of Usable.net for the tip.
