Totally agree with Mark on this one. Also hailing from the UK. It has been the ridiculous data charges that UK carriers impose that has prevented me, and I suspect the majority of others from mobilizing the web. Things are starting to change in this area, but I’d still say cost is a far more important component than the technology.
It’s good that the technology is improving and converging with the non mobile web, and also we’re starting to experience more reasonable levels of charges for mobile data. At some point in the very near future I’d expect these two variables to converge, and set in motion the gears to fast forward the mobile web.
