what about mobile browsing?
the iphone is having quite the impact on mobile computing and designing to

Interesting to hear.
I will do a formal test on our network sometime when I get the chance and
report on my findings as well.
Out of curiosity, it wasn't an actual physical stop watch was it? Its far

For Mobile Browsing you generally take different approaches altogether,
especially for WebKit powered phones (the iPhone and the to come GPhone).

It depends on the site size and the structure. If you have a huge CSS
