Apple's iPad Will Be the Death of the Mobile Web

[DN BROKER]

Achieving Steve Jobs' long-held dream of creating a tablet device as cool and useful as the one we've seen for years on science fiction shows now appears to be a dream realized, in the form of the iPad.

And as the iPhone fades away as a short-lived marvel, so too will disappear the mobile Web

Thanks for the post.
Yeah, good read ... I can see the iPad replacing laptops and even the home PC; but I think the iPhone and its future carnations will remain HiP for quite some time, IMHO. If we stop thinking of the World Wide Web on mobile devices as the "Mobile Web", we might be better off ... as it's really all ONE internet, one web, accessible via many different ways! :gl: :talk:

The iPhone definitely was the death of stripped down minisites and the ugly & awkward "dot Mobey" (.mobi) TLD, however! :red:

See you soon,
Jeff

I sure can't. It'll eat a significant chunk of the surfing shares, but not sure about the "death."

Who needs an iPhone if you have an iPad? And who needs the mobile Web if you don't have an iPhone?

it's answer everything....
