While doing research into mobile web for my PRP, I've come across an interesting article from the Guardian website (Feb 2010). Charles Arthur is reporting on the opinions of Peter-Paul Koch who warns that the iPhone is becoming mobile web's equivalent of Internet Explorer 6 (hated by designers - see http://www.bringdownie6.com).
A quote from Koch states "The iPhone has become an obsession. If we don't pay attention, we'll have a mobile web that only works on the iPhone. And then we'll have the real mobile web that wasn't made by us and doesn't give a shit about web standards and best practices."
I think I agree with him!
Another pointed comment "No "mobile web development" specialist ever mentions Nokia ever. After all, Nokia only sells more smartphones than BlackBerry and Apple combined, so there's no reason to mention it." really make you think about this iPhone 'obsession'.
