I'm a regular reader and occasional commenter over there. I'm also particularly interested in mobile and how it will affect what we do - particularly in the next few years. Thanks again for the slogan :) Robert, glad to see you’re back on the Web. I’m a regular reader and occasional commenter over there.

Plus Moore's Law and throw in a couple of killer apps and it will tip more. But its inevitable. Not only that but its already a market with people tapping on the virtual front door so you have the usability / accessibility issue. Its not just enough to just design solely for the 800+ pixel group anymore, there are growing numbers of people who might want to order theatre tickets or look at your designs on PDA or mobile or god knows what other dimension screen. A good example from our business - manager somewhere with PDA is looking for a designer. What if our site goes to crap on a PDA screen? Will we get the business? Regardless of the user size at present people could be throwing away sales by ignoring them. Its just funny how some people will play osterich and pretend like nothing will ever change. The Internet as we know it is a 30+ year old technology using outdated protocols to do something it actually wasn't thought to do at its inception. Kind of funny really. So eventually constraints change, including the way we access it. Yeh great to see Robert back on board :) and already canned a slogan! Cool.

Hehehe It's good to see Robert back to writing on his site again (another groovy, Swedish Web Developer guy who writes interesting stuff - great!) It's interesting that you lead to the article about 'designing for Opera Mini 4' and, more broadly, for the Mobile Web itself...Web Designers really do need to keep up to date on that side of things...because when the Mobile Web gets used more - it will be huge! I'm shouting it too - to anyone who listens! :D Should be on a T-Shirt shouldn’t it: ‘I am an Internet Junkie’ ???! Hehehe
