As far as I know, none.
You would have to get someone to code it, and it wouldn't be cheap.

A simple XML-based solution could probably be coded pretty easily.

myBB has a plugin to make all it's pages viewable in mobile web browsers I think... but not in WAP.

Might be a bit of a daft idea right now, you'd probably have to spend a considerable amount (I know I'd charge a considerable amount for something like this) and the reality is that more and more people have iphone-eske phones with proper internet browsing. This forum works fine on my ipod touch.

I say go for IPBoard. It includes a "lo-fi" version with out any graphics, addons etc... I use it when I am on the road to view through my psp or htc or my blackberry, its great fast loading even on edge/ gprs. and the psp fat/ slim editions ram both supports the lo-fi. the link will be included in the footer of your page, but simply you can have a index page, or portal, not sure if its wep compatible because Both my phones and psp's have web browser with html/ php/ xml/ flash support.


If you have acquired a ipb board system and need help installing you can pm me, I will tell you pricing for installations.

I have some free time next week, maybe I'll build one then. So if someone would want to use it, I'd have to make it open-source I guess? Anyone who got more info about open-source etc. ?
