TechNewsWorld has taken a look at the mobile web, and why it is probably always going to be disappointing. “Consider it a problem with basic physics. “There is generally a 4-inch/7-inch question over screen size. Four-inch is the largest a screen can get and fit into a pocket and seven-inch is the smallest you can get to and still open up attachments in a rational way,” Stuart Carlaw, wireless research director at ABI Research, told TechNewsWorld.” While it will never get as good as the desktop, when the computing power in phones gets good enough (400+ Mhz and 128+ MB RAM is quoted) it will be easier to run good browers, and of course faster network speeds will help the experience. There’s also the note that browsers need to be standardized, which could be said about everything in the mobile industry.
