When I say the "largest mobile browser", I mean the browser that can
handle more content and layouts on a mobile device than any other.  I
have seen plenty of mobile phone browsers.  I admit Opera Mini is
great, but the Safari on the iPhone does give you the full experience
as you would on your laptop/desktop.

Now, personally, I don't mind sites specifically for mobile devices,
cause they are lower in content, which is something you'd like on a
mobile device, due to the limitations of the screen and the cost of
transfer.

But while I realise that 3G is limited in the US, there is no place
yet where the mobile device industry is developed enough to allow for
full blown websites on mobile devices.  Which I believe is Apple
taking a step too early.

Svip

P.S. I live in Denmark.
