Why wait for WinMob 6 to enjoy mobile web?: People want to do more with their standard web-enabled phones. That?s 90% of the whole mobile market. A few good .mobi sites like http://a1r.mobi (for guys) and http://a1r.mobi/me (for women) work well on all phones, including Windows Mobile 6. Better content sites will be welcome by all mobile phone users, including smartphone owners. For instance, the new http://www.soonr.com enables any mobile phone user to synchronize with their Microsoft Outlook folders. That's pretty cool!

The iPhone and Mobile 6 market is a subset of the smartphone community, and the smartphone market is just 10% of all mobile phones. It will take 5 years for the smartphone market to even reach 25%. In the meantime, portals and business applications for standard web-enabled phones are at present very limited and ill-conceived.

People are increasingly using their mobile phones to check their e-mail, search Google, and visit engadget or digg because it?s risky to use your company computer due to employer surveillance of all your online activity. Few sites have really done a good job of aggregating mobile-friendly links and business content. This is true for Yahoo!, MSN, and Google, which tend to ignore each other due to competitive reasons. Book marking good sites isn't all that easy on many mobile phones, nor is surfing, so any site that aggregates all the best mobile content and applications will be quite useful for the majority business users having standard web-enabled mobile phones and also smartphones.; Posted by: 2007Chris Posted on: 02/10/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
