Hello my dear BBHF community!

Time for my next share :-)

Here's the direct access to the download pages:

Magic Button :

My verdict - and I'm heavily into mobile:
I will probably never use these.
The idea behind these themes is great, but they will probably deliver heavy pages that won't display fast enough for todays mobile connections.
Each single theme is about 3 MB size. Well designed mobile themes weight much less (look at Jason Fladliens or JumpMobile Inspire).
Even Artisteer based themes will load faster than this...

So, some more checks on the themes:

W3C Mobile OK Check: 56%
Page HTML is 15k
CSS file is 133k! That's big...
CSS file invalid.
HTML is neither compatible with XHTML 1.1 nor MP
However - it conforms (except one META field error) quite nice to HTML5, so it's optimized for the new browsers running on Apple and Android smartphones :-)

150k for the homepage - takes 3 to 5 seconds to load without server compression. That's without the time the server needs to render the HTML content page. Caching is necessary to get even close to the load times! Compression (gzip) should improve load time further, but I'm not impressed. An 8k HTML template with some 5k CSS and minimized jQueryMobile will beat this every time.

Cheers, Johnny63
