Since the dreadfull move to a new house this weekend, I’ve been left at the mercy of the merciless Telkom. Thankfully, the iPhone has been a godsend to keep me in touch with my reality.
It also made me think a whole lot about the mobile web and how extremely far behind it is. Sure, on the iPhone most web sites work. On normal phones, your options are very limited.
We have a lot of work to do. A lot! Time to seriously consider your mobile offering and open a new world of knowledge to the mobile user.
Please, since I’m not getting ADSL any time soon probably…
Oh, this is also the first post I’m making with the iPhone WordPress app! Nifty…

I agree, but opera mini does help though

Opera Mini 5 beta has far too many kinks that the developers need to sort out. Same goes for Opera Mobile 9.5 and the new beta — 9.7. Sometimes I’m forced to switch between Opera Mobile 9.5/9.7, IE, and Opera Mini 5 beta. It’s beyond frustrating.
So yeah. Developers need to see a business case for fine-tuning mobile. And not even Tim Bergers-Lee will make them if the only people who use mobile are Africans. Americans need to start using mobile web en masse for the developers to attend to it pronto.

True talk. I often rely on my mobile phones as a modem whenever I travel.
