If we cannot, or do not want to, use the mobile app, we can still access the mobile version of Connections using the microbrowser on the mobile device.
To allow microbrowsers to access the Mobile application, in mobile-config.xml, set...
WebClientAccess = true

When using a microbrowser, the following applications are available:
