What are the limitations of mobile devices?

For mobile devices we require both PC-integrated applications and specialized mobile services quite than repurposed website content.

The latest mobile devices are agonizingly near to being practical, although still lack key usability features needed for mainstream utilization.

Email should be reconceptualized for mobile devices. The old model of "anything sent to such address goes in this mailbox" doesn't work for mobile. We require both better filtering and a method to summarize mail which arrives at the office therefore you can find what you require on the road without being bogged down through a flood of non-urgent messages.

Information browsing also requires to change. Now, the best we can hope for are websites which are fundamentally scaled-down and redesigned to remove graphics and multicolumn layouts. At worst, websites give no mobile version, therefore you find crunched images and skinny columns which are almost not possible to read.

To cater  mobile devices, services and websites must offer:

• many shorter articles,
• simplified navigation dramatically and
• features are highly selective, retaining only what is required in a mobile setting.
