					<description>I'm going to take you through the features of the current wave of excellent web site designs, dissect the most significant features, explain why each one can be good, and show you how to use them in your own sites.

If I had to sum up &quot;Web 2.0&quot; design in one word, it would have to be &quot;simplicity&quot;, so that's where we'll start.

I'm a great believer in simplicity. I think it's the way forward for web design.</description>

					<description>Over the past few years, I used a few handsets to browse the web. Never did I have a good user experience. Verizon Wireless and my phone required me to overcome these obstacles before I could get online:
1. UI - I needed to go through at least 2 or 3 menus to get to the place where I could begin my web experience.
2. Service - if I didn't have access to the web/data service, I was stuck. If I was at the point of getting on the web with my phone, I first need to review the service agreement and agree to the additional monthly fee. (I think it was about US$10/mo. That fee was about 10%-25% of my total bill. Geez.)
3. Navigation - browsing was too slow. Scrolling up and down was difficult. Moving among links was tiresome. If I made a mistake and pressed the wrong button, I might have to start the whole process over again. So, recovery from error was very poor.
4. Input - It was simply too laborious to enter a web address of my choice. I could drive home and get on my computer before I could enter a full URL and view the page.
5. Design &amp;#38; Content - Not optimized for a phone. Site designers were not detecting small screens and delivering the appropriate designs. The user experience was horrible because most sites at that time were not XHTML and CSS compliant or the sites required Flash. Many sites are still not XHTML and CSS compliant.  (In case you are unaware of the importance of these web standards, read Zeldman's book.)
6. Lost Connection - If I lost my wireless connection, my web browsing was toast.

Along came the iPhone.
My mobile web experience is grrrreat!
It's a bit slow... partially due the speed delivered on the Edge network, partially due to a number of other web performance issues such as large graphic files, complex table+font markup, etc.

Rob S. knows that we're dealing with a moving target. However, I don't think it's easy to do B2B without a good amount of user research and testing. Plus why should business users be restricted to using Blackberry when they may feel that the iPhone is a superior technology?</description>

					<description>From an engineering perspective, try nailing down a mobile platform and browser to support and then QA'ing it.  For B2B this is pretty easy - Blackberry.  For B2C, best of luck to you!</description>
