Hardware Holding Back Mobile Web

Mobile, mobile, mobile. Businesses want to be in it even when they don't understand it. Similar to blogs or the Internet itself when they first became mainstream popular, mobile web is it (at least for now). Many companies are not set up to take advantage of mobile advertising or aiding local mobile search, but that's not what has really hindered mobile's widespread diffusion.

More than the cost or ease of use, it's the hardware. If you have a Razr like I do, the battery would probably die before I could do one Google search. Other phones also make it difficult to use. Just look at what the iPhone has done for the mobile web. The iPhone makes the mobile web easy to use, and voila! If you build, it, they will come.
