There are a number of good Wordpress plugins and themes for mobile. I use WP Mobile Detector along with Image resize wizz to optimize my pages for iphone/ipad. They work well in conjunction with one another. I'm running a feed-aggregator site that scrapes news stories and formats them for my mobile apps. The image resize plugin generally assures that the images are never bigger than the width of the iphone screen. There are occasional glitches because of the feeds I'm pulling from news sources, but overall, they work very well. If you are creating your own content on a Wordpress site, they should work without any hiccups. You can check out the implementation in this app (it's free): http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/college-football-trivia-more/id445555763?mt=8&uo=4

@nickrick32 - It's more difficult if you're not running a cms like wordpress (or drupal or joomla). They have nice plugins to allow for easy integration with mobile. If you've got more of a straight html site, you'll need a browser sensing routine that detects a mobile browser then redirects to a mobile formatted page. You can google and find browser detectors, and tutorials about how to do that. I've moved nearly all of my websites to Wordpress because it's relatively easy to maintain and make thinks work the way I need them.

@MGoBlue You make beautiful apps, just bought the Big 10 Road Trip and it looks beautiful! Congratulations! I have one question. Do you use any special framework or just plain html/css? I see that in the Sign Up section the header is different between iPad and iPhone version, is that the BT header or did you use some script to detect the hardware? Great work!!!
