The final selection of section styles was supported by user experience testing. We also added switches between Mobile/Desktop view and Images on/off to the footer. These changes have now been deployed as the default view of mobile Wikipedia. We're thrilled to get great comments like "Wikipedia mobile has improved its user interface, simple but lovely", "Who loves the new wikipedia mobile format on your iPhone? I know I do", and "New Wikipedia mobile website is gorgeous. Sleek and fast". The first working prototype of the new navigation UI has been completed in rough form and sent out for feedback.
