How to Kick Ass with a Mobile Website : "People browsing your website via mobile devices are an ever-increasing segment of total website visitors. The proliferation of smartphones and increases in mobile browsing are key trends for 2009, with smartphone shipments worldwide set to grow by 23% this year, (despite a 9.1% decline in the mobile handset market). This not just a western phenomenon; in developing nations the cost of a computer makes a web-enabled mobile device even more attractive.

You box yourself into a position where you have to profit immediately or the whole thing goes under. You’ve got to make it work now or give up forever." [37 Signals]
