The rise of the mobile Web has become a topic in the mainstream press. Products like the X-Series from 3 and the Nokia Series-60 Web browser have addressed both the functionality and the cost issues.

I've been saying for a while that I thought the mobile web was about to really take off. Usually I am met with complaints about how bad it is and how slow it is and how crappy the user experience is. I guess people don't remember what the WWW looked like in 1994. Same thing. The networks are getting better, the phones are getting better (much better) and the fact that it's always with you is so powerful that I believe it is really going to drive a new era ov mobile data; on the web. -David Dan,
