Wink [Q] browser updated??

I just got my Xoom today from Verizon, and my browser does NOT go to mobile sites. I have been playing with it all afternoon and it has yet to open anything but the desktop site. Do we have a silent update already?

Agreed! I used to hate their mobile site (because of the lack of pictures and story summary) but now it is infinitely better than their new full site layout LOL

We're lucky the mobile versions are finally working. A few weeks ago, it was just some link that didn't work.

I'm really surprised that it wasn't working at launch, given how long they'd been working on it.

absolutely... i've literary stopped going to the site, which sucks because i liked it and lifehacker so much. funny thing is, i bet they sunk a bunch of money and time into the redesign to the point that no one is willing to admit failure for fear of looking like an ass.

The funny thing is, the site actually looks like its designed as tablet app, if you look at the form factor and layout.
They were probably thinking you guys would love it!
