That's the direction this industry is going anyway, more portable access to the internet.
I can see why they want people to use their mobile more for internet, but you do get a better experience when using a normal computer. :P
True for now, though mobile safari and opera mini on android is pretty slick :DQuote:

Mobile internet isn't designed to be as good as normal landline internet, but it's doing bloody well to keep up, you are able to visit pretty much everything on a iPhone/iTouch which is great - You just need to get used to how to work the browser (Zooming in/Zooming out/Typing etc) then they can be great.
Matt is correct, the experience of the internet is far better on a computer for many reasons, screen size is probably the biggest, on mobile internet devices you often have to zoom in to view certain bits of text (you certainly do on safari on the iPhone). I suppose I could also point out that I've written this post in less than half the time it'd have taken on my iphone.Quote:

Trust me I know what mobile internet is like. I probably use it most of the time anyway when I'm out checking up on twitter updates, facebook and so on. It may be eco-friendly and Nokia may want more people to use it for that reason, but you won't push people away from using their normal computers fully. :P
Yes and for techless peeps like me who don't even surf the net on the phone it is not an option :P. I can imagine hand helds taken over.Quote:
