Hi,

Trying to get the 'shared experiences' bit in, as well as specifying it 
the Web, and who the two groups are, how about returning to sort of 
where we started:

Shared Web Experiences: Mobile Device Users and People with Disabilities
or
Shared Experiences: Mobile Web Users and People with Disabilities

Or is it still too long?

Cheers, Andrew
