MobileWeb v1.0 for MediaCar Released

Stevie, does the app browse to the page live or store it offline? I started (and never finished) something similar but my aim was that it'd keep trying to get the pages via 802.11.b and keep the last successful page. The theory being that as you passed through hotspots it would update and you'd have the last offline version available at all times.

In that was as you leave home it would pull the traffic data down and have it available if you need it, it'd also update if and when it was able.

It browses the page live at the moment, mainly as it's aimed at GPRS and similar connections. The two default URLs are flash-based, and even if the flash application was stored offline, they still connect to a remote server to pull down data. You must pass more hotspots than I, as half my journey to work is country roads - till I hit the M6 near birmingham!

I Live in the U.S., so I have never used it.

Is there any way I can make the skin work for 800x480? It embeds in Mediacar just fine, however, I have this annoying white space on the right side of the app. I changed the dimensions of the background.gif, but to no avail. I also tried to parse through some of the files with notepad, but I couldn't figure it out. Any suggestions?
