Talk:Mobile Web

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mobile Internet shouldn't be redirected here. Mobile internet is a service to connect to the Internet thru mobile network. Mobile networks can be used by mobile devices like cellphones, notebooks, PDAs, but also by desktop computers. Because mobile internet redirects here, the reader will have the assumption that "Access does not require a desktop computer." though it is a completely different matter.

Needs more wiki, reads like an advertisement. I'm deleting some lines to clean it up. Mathiastck 00:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

It was full of speculation, and forward looking possiblities, great for a blog entry, bad for an encylopedia article. Mathiastck 00:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Capitalisation

Is there are reason the first letter of "web" is capitalised in the title? It seems like it should be in lower case. Jecowa (talk) 14:39, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Limitations original research?

The last paragraph of the Limitations section doesn't sound very encyclopedic. I'm not sure if it's just the exclamation points or the non-standard citations, but it could use some polishing. I don't know how to do proper citations on wikipedia, so if someone could show me how, I'll fix it, otherwise if you could fix it that'd be cool too. PabloSus86 (talk) 03:11, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I believe that almost the entire Limitations section is out of date. Nearly every one of the specified weak points has been worked on and significantly improved. (Not sure if this goes here, I'm just now learning how to 'Talk'. L.F. Khael (talk) 02:24, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Various

I think the first section is mostly debatable, or wrong. There is a confusion in what is written between Internet (capital I) and Web (capital W). fwiw I don't consider WAP/WML to be part of the Web. It's not accessible using a standards compliant Web browser, which to my mind is the test of whether something is part of the Web or not. Specifically, I think that the Mobile Web is a sub-set of the regular Web in which content has been designed to be sensitive to the user's mobile intentions (which are typically different to those of a desktop user) and designed to take advantage of specific mobile features - such as location awareness, or ability to originate telephone calls or SMS messages directly. Additionally content is typically designed to be easily navigable and readable with small screens, limited input mechanisms (typically no mouse) and limitations as to the size of the pages that can be accommodated by devices, and transferred to the device in a reasonable time at a reasonable cost. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.46.123 (talk) 11:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
