Mobile vs desktop at Sonic -- This is what I've been posting about this week...
Check out (from your cell phone, ideally), the difference between Sonic's mobile site, sonicdrivein.mobi and their desktop web site, sonicdrivein.com. On the road, you don't need all the "engaging" flash frou-frou on the .com version. What you need is information, presented in a straightforward fashion. Where's a Sonic?, What are today's specials? The menu. Nice added touch is the nutritional content for menu items.
Maybe a little location awareness for phones with that capability could simply the location search process.
