Wowhead's greatest strength, in my humble opinion, is in its design. Putting together a new design specifically for mobile phones would be a long and time-consuming process which we don't yet have the resources to undertake.
We do have some places where limited functionality is available (check out
http://mobilewh.com
, which
Tecnobrat
made for iPhones), but right now, the official site is the only thing we have the ability to support.

Try
Opera Mini
. Most of the important site features work as is, although getting to the forums is a bit tricky (you have to use the URLs).

Yea mobilewh.com is pretty sweet but the search isn't quite as thorough as wowheads site. Say you look for 'quartermaster' - the mobile version only returns results for specific names and not subtitles. It would be great if wowhead made a mobile app that supported the entire database at some point. Technobrat has the right idea -- it really is minimal design effort and more about simple information accessed really quickly and efficiently with an option to always open up the original site that's just a click away. Personally it would beat having to tab between browser and game when I'm questing :)

A Wowhead app, in my opinion, may end up as a waste of resources.
Unless it had the forums. Then it'd be great =P

Yeah, apparently mobilewh isn't up anymore. :(
In any case, this is a possibility for the future, but we've got some important things to take care of first.

I'd like to talk to someone about writing an iPhone/iPad wowhead app. Who's the best person to reach?

I'm with Hirsute on this one. This is the only problem I have on the iPhone. Every time I want to open just the tooltip, I can't. Instead, I have to open and load entire pages just to quickly compare a few items. Other than that, wowhead is fine on iPhone.
