I possibly use it more than the main site. Well for content anyway, I don't post with the mobile site.
But I'm watching the old ERs on my iPad all the time, and I've stopped downloading the podcasts. Easier to stream over 3G and a phone.
Subscribers. You Guys Use Mobile Site Often?
I use it when I'm on my phone before bed or when all my computers are off in my house. Very useful when I just want to check something quick.
I use it everyday. In fact, I'm using it to post this right now.Im using it to quote this.
I got membership just for it.
I access it about a dozen times a week. Every other day I might visit it once or twice while sitting at my desk at work and I might pull it up if I have my iPhone with me in the bathroom (sounds gross but I'm sure all iPhone owners have do that lol). It's extremely convenient and a great thing to have. I hope it gets some upgrades in the future though. (I'd like to be able to access more of my personal profile items on it.)
I don't own a phone, so no. Never. It's pretty much the most useless subscriber feature going, not to mention ass backwards. The whole point of a website is to let as many people as possible view your site, so locking away the mobile site to subscribers only seems kind of silly to me.
I use it when I need to test something on the mobile site, and that's it. If I had a decent data plan and a better phone I would use it more often.

"I have had my iPhone4 for 3 weeks and managed to use 20GB on 3G. Thank god my provider gives me unlimited data with no fair usage. It's almost entirely giant bomb videos.
Holy crap, I'm just using the real mobile site for the first time and it's great. I wondered what was so 'improved' about it.
I'll be going here on my iPod a lot more now.
" I don't have a phone that can use the mobile site. My phone is for calling people. "Cell phones just to be used for making calls?! Preposterous!

"You're a liar if you claim to have never used a smartphone to browse the web while on the toilet. I like to call it, being more productive.
I have an unfortunate issue with the mobile site, maybe someone could shed some light on for me. Whenever I try to watch videos on my 3G through the site, after a while, the audio starts to skip bad, soon enough the video becomes unwatchable. Its obviously something with my phone since I haven't heard of anyone else with this issue, but other streaming apps like Netflix and SiriusXM work without a hitch. I would love to use the mobile site more than I already do!
"I use it often, but I really wish that my phone would auto-detect the mobile site rather than the normal site. I always have to pull up the URL, then change the "www" to "m", and it's kind of annoying. "
/puzzled. Why don't you add a new bookmark? I hate when I'm trying to access a main site and it keeps bouncing me to a mobile site. Xbox.com I'm looking at you.

said:"I use it fairly often. It's pretty well made, though it annoys me to no end that the the newest video isn't shown in the videos list on the front page. "
More aggrevating to me is the mobile news never seems as up-to-date as the news on the main site. So, I end up going to the main site anyway.
Do I use it? Not really.
It acts oddly when I'm on my HTC HD7, but it does work perfectly with my Nexus S. Either way, I just use the desktop version IF I need to come to the actual site on my phone, which isn't often. I normally just check the GB RSS feed to see what's up when I'm out. I like to watch the videos in the comfort of my home.
