Oh dear this mobile web thing isn’t working too well
I’ve been using a Motorola Q these last few weeks and I have to say I find the experience to be an inverse square law for usefulness. I.e the potential of the devices is far less applicable in practice. What you think you can do with them ends up taking far more time ie each step takes you x2 longer than doing the same thing on a phone, next step x 2 that until you are faced with a 4 step task that would take you 20 minutes to figure out. These are great forwarding devices if you are in a position to have other people carry out the task you need, nearly useless if you have to do it yourself. Until we get a device that combines say a projected laser keyboard, or decent speech recognition these things are just going to be under utilized. ( unless we can get these things freed up from the carriers:)
The only good thing so far. The few sites that have mobile features are actually more pleasant to use. I don’t need to wade through extraneous material to buy an item or locate the account info I need. I’m guessing a few sites will get a shock when they start touting ” x number hit our mobile sites” and then go look at the user agents and realize that it’s people surfing from their desktop.
