Don't you mean "yet another site that iPhones can't navigate" ? It's kind of like buying a golf cart instead of a car and then complaining that the roads weren't made to accommodate it.

I found a nice workaround for this. I saw this post via icombinator.net and easily saved it to my instapaper, then read it easily using the instapaper iphone app.

If you were using the iPhone you would see what I mean. They specifically setup a mobile version of their site. However when you click through to a url for a specific story on their site, their system doesn't know how to handle it and just forwards you to the front page of the mobile version. It leaves you no way to get to the story via the url, because their system is detecting the iPhone Safari useragent and just shunting that traffic to the mobile version. It needs to know I'm trying to get to the specific url that I am trying to view. If that URL isn't available in an iPhone friendly version, then just show me the regular page. If it does have a friendly version, then show it to me in that version.

So when I say "yet another site that doesn't correctly forward urls when surfing via iPhone" I am absolutely correct. Their site is broken and it should be fixed if they actually want people on mobile devices to browser their site.
