Is there still a good reason why a mobile browser need be less capable than its desktop counterparts? Perhaps. But with mobile access to the web today just as important as mobile voice service, and with enterprises adopting web services as a fundamental IT strategy, there's now a clear requirement for mobile browsers that support desktop functionality - but in a compact package. This session includes a discussion of required features, demos of the latest mobile browsers, as well as a debate attempting to define best approach to user interface strategy and implementation.
