    I think a lot of the problem with the web on phones does have to do with bandwidth. And the fact that such a tiny amount of information shows on the screen, so there's either a lot of scrolling, or a lot of page calls--compared to tablets or desktops.

    If you were sitting at your computer, would you ever in a million years take out your phone to look for something on the web? Of course not.

    Experiencing the web on a phone is a bit like trying to eat a big bowl of ice cream with a cocaine spoon. It is possible, but it's a hassle, it's not as enjoyable, and it takes much longer.

    If the web on phones had been great, tablets would never have become popular.
