Mobitrends

Just kidding Thomas, dont runsh on the comment field ;).
But there is a real trend here… that has become possible thanks to Apple’s iPhone AJAX enables Safari browser. Until now the mobile web was a pain, either you had to stick to one-dimension static web pages (just like minitel) or install (if you had the skills to) some fancy rich application (java/flash/stz…) that would somehow try to show one kind of information or vertical function (track bank accounts, golf card…) on a more pleasant way… but there was no such thing as a browser.
Opera was a first step in that direction with their XML widget framework, but Safari just is the first one to offer you a rich experience of mobile web browsing + an intuitive input mechanism : your finger (remember, the mouse is better than the keyboard, so is a touch screen compared to the tiny-winy mobile keyboard).
Going on Facebook on an iPhone is realistic while going on wap works - but it’s still a pain
If you are working on the mobile business keep en aye on what’s happening here !
