If I were to render different frontpages for different clients, what font sizes should I use on the iPad instead of the current ones?

From donohoe's CSS here: http://ifelse.org/projects/ipad/hn/hn.css http://ifelse.org/projects/ipad/hn/hn.css .pagetop { font-size:12pt; } .title { font-size:14.5pt; } .subtext { font-size:12pt; } .comhead { font-size:10pt; } table table img { width:19px; height:19px; }

If you decide to do this, please consider using a larger font size on the iPhone, too. For my browsing habits, that would be greatly appreciated, though perhaps others find the font size on the iPhone to be OK.

  There is an iPhone app already: (not mine) http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hacker-news/id339408916?mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hacker-news/id339408916?mt=8 A lot of the complaints are for older versions, you can at least vote now.

The font sizes/styles don't bother me. What is a pain are the voting arrows - they are so tiny that i sometimes tap the wrong one, and there's no way to undo one's vote.

  I click the wrong arrow quite often on my netbook. On my phone... fuggettaboutit

  About 30% of the time I fat finger and click on the story link instead of the comments on my iPad. I don't know if that would be fixed with a bigger font or a bit more padding between the story and the comments link.

  I double the size of the voting arrows but they are a little blurry. I'll address that when I have more time

When I reformat pages in my online iPhone app user manual for use on mobile devices, I go with 2.5em. I prefer to read horsey big text on my mobile devices of all stripes.
