[WG: Accessibility] [Building Sakai] Proposed PDA Portal Wording Change - SAK-19061

[Steve Swinsburg]

We were actually discussing that we should add a link to take you to the mobile view at #ausakai10 this eve. So as the person who developed the 'switch to classic view' link, I am in favour of:

Switch to mobile view. 

The mobile view is not particularly accessible so this need not be referenced. And agreed, PDA is so 90's!

Cheers
Steve
