Mobile Internet is more eco friendly.

Until they get satellites up there actually designed for mobile internet it will always be horrifically slow compared to proper internet period.

Although 4G Internet is meant to be fast. But I know what you mean about how slow 3G is. Even 3.5G is super slow.

All mobile internet on the current systems will be slow. Too much latency and quite overloaded.

I hate going into London, it has full 3G coverage but is the slowest internet ever, far too many people use it. Stupid iPhone making mobile internet popular :@

3.5G is just a marketing term, its barely any different to 3G. 4G is meant to be good enough to be an effective broadband replacement though.

Total opposite here, where 1/2 my school doesn't have service and I get one bar in my house

Yes, but surely a 23" wide-screen monitor would still have a better experience then a smaller screen on a mobile device? Yes they are getting bigger but I hope you know what I mean.

Of course. Nothing's going to beat a 1080 browsing experience I meant in terms of ease of access for portability.

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.

Mobile internet is evolving somewhat via smartphones and this new world of mobile internet is a completely different experience of accessing the internet, probably the best thing is having internet access in 90% of the places you go, without having to carry a laptop, or tablet around. But as I said, mobile internet is a completely different world to sitting on a computer at home and although portable internet devices will grow and grow in popularity, and mobile internet on the whole will become very popular, it will never compete with home internet because it's just too different.

I agree with most of this, though futuristically speaking we can only predict how mobile devices will be able to interact with external displays and how this market's going to overall affect the personal computer industry as we know it today.

It doesn't match a wired connection no, but if you're running Android you should check out Opera Mini 5, apparently it's using some sort of external server to compress the page before it sends it to the client. It's wicked fast.
