Re: boobs
iphone user: I don't use iOS 'apps' really. I'm at a desk most of the day and use the desktop then. Only use another device (iPhone/iPad) when I'm NOT at my desk (typically when I'm in bed). I actually surf the web MORE on my phone than my ipad, not anywhere near my desktop usage though. You mentioned people probably don't use their phone to surf the web. Me and my wife actually do the exact opposite. Perhaps the typical web-user actually does use their phone to surf. Actually, now that I have a MBP laptop freed up, I'm not using my iPad at all. My laptop is faster, sits up by itself (unlike an iPad) and has a bigger screen (for when I like to watch TV online). My phone is small, with me all the time, and either runs off of WiFi or my grandfathered unlimited AT&T plan. It's easy to pick up, put somewhere (or drop under the sheets) when I'm done, etc. It's convenient and that's why I surf with it a lot. Websites do suck when they're that small but I've learned to deal with it. It's not that bad of an experience IMO. I actually dislike mobile versions of websites, simply because it's either more clicks to get to what I want, or it's missing half the features that the full-on site has. I also don't like how I pass a link from my iphone to view on my desktop the next day, and then has a massive pixelated mobile version of the page to look at on my desktop, or I have to switch to the full version and search for what I was looking for on my phone. So I'm not a big fan of mobile versions of sites I guess.Personally, I don't think tablets will be here for that much longer or get as popular as folks think they may. Laptops are getting lighter, smaller, and faster. I don't want to have to hold a tablet or bring along a stand for it to be able to prop itself up. Tablets are cool and all, but that's because they're a new gadget. But that's just my opinion. Only time will tell I guess.
