WPTouch 3 launches

After having launched their wildly successful WPTouch Pro 3 earlier in the year, today Hamilton-based BraveNewCode (@BraveNewode) launched the free version WPTouch 3 and made the announcement on their blog:

It might be hard to believe, but we shipped the first version of WPtouch back in April 2008. Since that time, the plugin has been downloaded almost 4.6 million times.

It’s now used on millions of websites worldwide, and is hands-down the most popular way to make your WordPress website mobile friendly.

You might not know, but the project started out as a mobile theme for then client of ours Canadian musician, author, and activist Matthew Good. We realized many of Matthew’s visitors were coming to his website on the then just released iPhone— so we thought it might be fun to see what a mobile theme designed just for touch mobile devices could look like.

The mobile version of Software Hamilton is powered by WPTouch Pro 3, and now you can try WPTouch 3 for free to see why your blog should be too!
