    I love Zotero. I use it on my Mac desktop, Mac laptop, and Windows work desktop.

    I just got an iPhone, which I also love. I'm wondering if there will be any way to access my Zotero information, either through a web front-end or directly?

    Zotero 2.0 will allow you to access and to some extent manipulate your collection through a web interface. When this feature launches you should be able to interact with your collection through your iPhone.

    Nice Dan. I take it there's no reason the iPhone-oriented styling won't also work for other similar smart phones (say the new google android stuff)?

    Not that I know of. The iPhone interface is done completely using CSS, served via CSS3 media queries ('media="only screen and (max-device-width: 480px)"'), without any Apple-specific properties.

    The only potentially tricky issue is scaling. We're using the "viewport" META tag that Apple recommends to control scaling, and I don't know how that will be handled by Android, but we can certainly adjust as necessary. (The current behavior is also a little non-optimal in this regard, since it scales the screen when you shift to landscape rather than displaying more text at the same size. I think Twitter's iPhone interface gets this right, so we'll have to see what they're doing.)

    This is really just a proof-of-concept, and it's possible that as we add more features (e.g., editing) we'll need to use some of the WebKit-specific stuff that hasn't been codified into standards yet. But Android may very well support the same properties, and, either way, we'll do our best to keep things compatible.

    Very useful!

    But when trying to access it via Nokia N78 (Symbian OS, S60 rel. 3.2), the username/password field is unaccessible (see: http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/6084/img1270sp3.jpg). Screen rotation also won't help, only zooming page to 50% will reveal the fields.

    In case possible, maybe you could develop in the future also an additional and independent Symbian/WM/Android/etc programme, where the notes are stored in the phone?
