This is where I find this group has become a little misguided. SMS applications aren't Web applications either. A good example of a mobile Web application which I've seen working well on several mobile devices is Google.com. It's simple and lightweight for the most part. The Web currently is inherently connected unlike native platforms. Offline Web applications that mobile use cases desperately require, have only been recently implemented. See HTML5. I wish there was more good examples of mobile Web applications. Unfortunately most people write bloated Web applications with bad tools that will not work well on low end devices for some time to come. I generally make sure my Web applications work well on mobiles by keeping as efficient as possible, the "less code" approach. Their simplicity can then by interpreted as 'accessible' on Desktops. ;) A general rule for people on this list might be: If you can't access a mobile Web application from your Desktop Web browser and see the same information, something is seriously wrong. Kind regards,
