Hello,
We're around to develop a web application targeted at mobile phones like the Iphone or Android. I just tried your latest version (2010.3.1109.35), particularly the RadMenu and Radpanelbar. They both didn't work with Dolphin Browser on Android (e.g. no drop down items in the menu, while it perfectly worked in IE 8). This confuses me since I read in another arcticle (http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/general-discussions/radcontrols-for-mobile.aspx) that mobile support should be functional with the 2010 Q3 release.
I would like to know
- what controls are mobile compatible
- what settings (regarding your controls) we have to apply to ensure mobile compatibility
Sorry for that comprehensive question but you have to understand that this is a critical architectual issue since there seems to be no alternative from Telerik to create mobile phone web applications (as old Webcontrols w/o Ajax are legacy and MVC currently is too basic).
Regards,
Conrad

Hello Conrad,
I just checked our RadMenu and RadPanelBar demos in the Android's internal browser and in Dolphin browser (which is essentially WebKit as is the other one) and both are working properly and showing drop downs in both browsers. The same happens in iOS Mobile Safari. Please note that the hover event in mobile browsers is fired at the same time as the click event and there is no way the drop down to be shown if you are doing postback on expandable items. You can try enabling ClickToOpen though it shouldn't be needed if you mind the previous rule. If you had something else in mind, let me know.
Other than that, check this blog post about which controls now have touch scrolling enabled.
We continue to improve our RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX to perform better in mobile browsers, if you have any suggestions, we will be glad to hear them.
