There's still a lot of issues that need to be dealt with..

..in the mobil arena. As a mobil developer for Tech01 (www.Tech01.net)(www.mobil.tech01.net) I can personally tell you that there are some serious obstacles to over come in the development state that I wouldn't even recommend the notion of going on the mobil web.

That is of course unless you go to Mobil.Tech01.net ; were trying to change this by offering a Mobil Portal that would allow easier use of the mobil net. Once again, there's development problems due to companies like HipTop and the Danger Network that T-Mobile offers. That's not a True HTML network. Sure, you can read graphic stripped pages, just click on the weather link at Mobil.Tech01.net. You'll see that the Danger Network provided by T-Mobile doesn't actually render real HTML pages. They use a technology that actually strips the HTML to only certain tags that are allowed to be rendered.

How about video, you may be able to offer video cast to people who want to pay for it but what about video through the mobil net? IMPOSSIBLE. Take the Google link at Mobil.Tech01.net and then look for some video, my SideKick2 will crash like there is no tomorrow.

And then, what about the T-Mobile Danger network stripping Animated Graphics. Why? My NGage QD would render more HTML pages correctly than the SideKick2 all day long. Yet there on the same mobil networks.

This is just the mobil web limitation. There are the limitations of the devices themselves too. I remember when the SideKick was owned by Danger and nobody else new what the hell a SideKick was; yet I new they'd be the **** in due time. Now that I own a SideKick2 I'm so sorely disappointed in the fact that the browser used by it would crash so easily in my development arena.

FYI: I can create audio and video small enough to be useful; yet efficient enough to be streamed across the mobil web. That is of course, if you mobil companies like T-Mobile would be so courteous as to open the networks.

And if you don't think your company is capable of streaming video across the mobil web than you need to fire who ever is telling you that and hire Tech01!

The mobil web is young and can be useful; but it starts with GREEDY mobil companies that would rather try to get the first streaming dollar than open the pipes and let the little guy in, like myself, to get a piece!

Search for mobiles is a different animal
by ZooVision September 16, 2006 5:11 PM PDT
Searching for mobile sites is much different than searching on
the desktop. There are some innovative ideas that are starting to
emerge for the mobile space. These ideas and concepts need to
be expanded on and mobile browsing will explode when people
discover how easy it is use to the mobile web.

One such idea comes from an Irish company called Alatto with
their Tribes product. This is the marketing blurb from their site
about what Tribes is: "A key problem is that subscribers find
service discovery and mobile internet browsing far too difficult.
We solve this problem by making service discovery and content
browsing a 'one-click' process. The user doesn't have to enter or
remember URLs or navigate complex portal menus or download
java clients. Now all they need do is one-click browse to find
excellent content."

Try this on your mobile for a totally new mobile web experience.
