Browsing on mobiles
In other news, the new Web Browser for S60 supports cool things like thumbnail views of the pages, AJAX and DHTML for Web 2.0 hype compliancy, and built-in RSS support for following blogs and news. The best part though: it’s got a plugin API, so people can develop new browser plugins for S60, too. It’s cool enough to make a geek drool.
However, while this is very nice, someone might mistake to think that this means that there no longer is a need to create mobile-specific versions of the web. In fact, it becomes more important than ever: while 3G and high-end smartphones will have a browsing experience similar to the laptop, the most phones sold in the world are simple devices with GPRS (roughly the equivalent of a 56k modem) and tiny displays with a very simple browser.

Even those using some high-end smartphones will appreciate if you take care of their screen real estate and navigation experience…
