This Just In: Mobile Web Still Stinks

Dear Apple, Nokia, and Palm:

I don’t really care which one of you wins a page-loading speed contest when the winner still takes longer than a low-end computer on dialup would take.

I mean, really. 21 seconds? You may have gotten away with that in 1995, but in an age where I can get a 10 Megabit connection $50, this looks kinda silly for technology that’s supposed to be the latest and greatest.

I love my AT&T tilt, but the only connectivity I need for it is for Google Maps and email.

    I agree that the mobile web still has a long way to go, but I think people are starting to do interesting things with it. Keeping up with friends on Facebook or Myspace is pretty popular and gets even more useful as status features gain popularity. Using eBay mobile to check on auctions is another popular use, even if it I’m not a big eBay user.
