The trouble is that mobiles are also fashion, personal jewellery with too many finding their way to the recycling bin when the next model comes along.

I suppose someone has to go first. And there are a few big handset makers on the list http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/oha_members….

Let's face it: Desktop browsers display content on a 20' (or bigger) screen. Mobile devices do it on a 3X3 screen.
