Mobile Web

Posted on: September 30th, 2009

Mobile web is already a big part of Europe, Asia, and the US market, beginning with the release of the Apple iPhone. Companies like Nokia, Blackberry, and Sony-Ericsson have been working on mobile web for several years now. And this is only the beginning. Over the next decade, there will be more location aware services available to consumers through mobile devices, like getting map directions while driving or sale alerts and recommendations wihle shopping in the mall. Big internet companies like Google will become key mobile portals and work in conjunction with mobile operators.

One of the issues faced by mobile web is usability, but the iPhone made it easier for users to go online, making this phone the benchmark of mobile devices.
