We haven’t updated our flagship plugin WPtouch in a few weeks, but that doesn’t mean we’re not working on moving things forward with it. While today is far more historic for entirely different reasons which I’m sure we’re all taking in, we wanted to take a moment and share with you the incredible success that our mobile iPhone/iPod touch plugin has garnered in just 5 months.

We've received many e-mails from users suffering menu issues as of 1.3, when we switched the javascript in WPtouch to jQuery from Prototype.
While much faster and a better platform overall for WPtouch, it is currently causing problems for some users.
