Re: It's Not Worth It

Screen to small is what annoys me. I have the Audiovox ppc6700 and use wifi at home to browse, but still the small screen and scrolling is such a pain I just wait to use my computer. For weather and listening to streaming radio its great, anything more in depth is just a pain.

Hm...Wifi, I nearly forgot about that. I don't have any device that's Wi-Fi capable, and I've lacked interest since around here Wi-Fi is quite uncommon. There's Starbucks, but that's it.

As for the screen and scrolling, I completely agree. Yet, to make the screen bigger, you need a physically bigger device. So, might as well use a laptop in that case.

The only other solutions?

A) Holographic. But this is pure science fiction, at least in the form needed to make it portable.

B) Roll-up or Folding Screens. More likely, but this is still in experimental stage.

Until either of those things happen, I don't see mobile browsing becoming big. I see it as remaining a niche market.
