CTO Wapple Rich Holdsworth on the Mobile Frames bad for Mobile Browser issue

Yikes the phone has been ringing non-stop; lots of people have a frames for mobile browsers story to share. But most importantly Rich Holdsworth the CTO of Wapple got back to me immediately with regards to the frames issue and problems I am having with the frames on the site.

1. Good News: I am not going mad. I don’t have frames on my site and Wapple (according to Rich) would NEVER push frames on mobile.
2. Bad news: Go Daddy the company I purchased the mobi site from is to blame.
3. More Bad News:  I chose Go Daddy because the company claims to be mobile friendly and is part of the W3C.
4. Even More Bad News: Go Daddy is adding the frames to my site and making my mobile site unreadable.
5. Conclusion: Go Daddy BAD.

So what do I do?

Basically, I have lots of instructions from Wapple on how to solve this problem. I need to give an IP address to GoDaddy and then the issue can be sorted out.

I know GoDaddy is cheap – but this is terrible that they are taking my site re-hosting it on GoDaddy adding frames and then pushing the content. BAD. BAD. BAD.

What we think?
Thanks Wapple for getting back so quickly. But no thanks to Go Daddy for messing up with my mobi site. I am thinking of a getting another site m.gomonews.com to see if that solves the redirection issue to the mobile site - from a new provider.
