I can't read or respond to techcrunch blogs on my current small tablet as it doesn't do flash or javascript being a nokia 770 - so the way I get my fix of techcrunch headlines is go to techcrunch's mobile facebook page instead in this format there are no javascript problems (for the time being) as the wordpress mobile version updated in a similar way twitter did about 6 months back - making the mobile version not work on older tablets.
Atleast on the facebook page I can scan the headlines and try and glean the story from the comments!

The Register - a quick review
The Register
Mobile Versions here:
Sometimes called el reg (no idea why) The Register is a UK centric IT/Technology news portal that has a tabloid 'red top' style about it.
A bit cheeky / sarcastic, old skool maybe, but I like it as the stories make perfect sense if you have been on-line for a few years and have seen some of the battles / gossip unfolding between Companies. El Reg like to expose information about Apple, Facebook and other 'trendy' companies when they goof up basic privacy, security, law blunders - the type of thing that would sent your average person to jail but Big Business wriggles out of, by way of la dosh (most probably)
Only observations I've made that I have to report is that they aren't apple 'fanbois' so a different slant to techcrunch who are. The readership sound like networking professionals - techies/IT sort rather than the hobknobbing/social media variety.
They appear right leaning, but as a left leaner myself they don't come across as too right, so it's not a daily mail experience for the curious leftie looking for some entertaining news.
If you like TechCrunch (as I do) you will probably like The Register too, as they are different in many ways but have a similar sense of humour, ideal for UK people that feel a bit far away from the States to relate to Silicon Valley.
