I have to admit, I hate using my iPhone for internet. I will when I'm in the car or on a plane. for this mobilization to take place, we are drastically going to have to changed the way we think about mobile phones. The way we interact with the device will greatly change also. I'm sure the three biggest gripes about using cellys for internet are user input, i.e. keyboards, speed, and screen size. Look at it like this, either phones will get alot bigger, or we're going to start seeing some really cool gadgets; laser keyboards, intelligent voice recognition, vr, etc. Those are my thoughts too Shane!
