It's a good example of how to provide a targeted mobile user experience, but it doesn't take advantage of device features too well. Forget Ajax -- just by using a bit of CSS, you could create a more coherent user experience with their PC web site and still keep it mobile focused. That they have a mobile site <i>at all</i> is a big step forward, however. Hi James —

It cuts to the chase, thinks about what you want as a mobile user, and provides some pretty useful content (such as film trailers and music clips of the bands playing). Perhaps it doesn't have enough AJAX on it to meet your coolometer :-) I actually think sxsw.mobi is a pretty good demonstration of a mobi site.
