Pocket PC's and smart phones have been web-able for ever. It's just that it's not the best tool for the job. ...it's something you use in a pinch. You Apple fanboys are cuckoo for coco-puffs for your lobster-clawing HVGA touch-screens. --that is HALF VGA! ...you get the page and have to lobster-claw your way to part of the text. Oooohhh . . looky what I can do on my iPhone.... Uh, yeah; old news. Maybe in a few years the Apple fanboys will stun us all with cut & paste on their iPhones. We'll all act surprised for ya --we know you paid a lot.
Well, that's kind of my point re browsers. I've had cell phones with browsers for years and until mobile Safari, I did only use them in a pinch.

The point I am making is that the size of the screen coupled with desktop style browser allows many more people to actually USE the browser on a regular basis. That's why you see iPhones getting ranked extremely high in mobile web browsing. I also heard today that iPhone is the number one mobile browser at BoA - there are more stats like this and I would be happy to dig them up.

I think if you had actually spent a week or two using the iPhone some of your opinions might change.

Best,

Kurt
