Shouldnt the 3GPP group do something about this issue ?? Afterall, they are controlling the specs for mobile devices – correct ?

Foldable electronic paper is something so useful that it can't NOT happen. In theory, prototypes are available already. But notice how the promotional photos only show the display being flexed, not folded?

Great post about moible issues!

What about solutions ?

One solution for web publishers would be to implement RSS feed and use for their mobile strategy.

Once publisher web site got rSS feed setup, it is very easy to use any RSS reader such as Hubdog.com to display in a well organized format the web site content.

RSS feed is a great solution for web publishers looking to adress the mobile market efficiently.

cheers!
Take a look at Hubdog.com, you will see How great this approach look on many devices with so many screens resolutions and browser support!

It looks like Steve Jobs has just announced something that might answer all your prayers... the Apple iPhone!

According to people attending his MacWorld San Francisco 2007 Keynote, it's a phone, an iPod and Internet communicator all-in-one device and it apparently runs OS X – NOT a mobile OS!

Heh.

This thing looks stupidly cool. It's like how you'd make a phone if there were no limitations. Massive resolution, runs full Mac OS – no need for stylus. Jesus Steve.

Well, if that is a MDA vario, which is just another name for the HTC Wizard, you can allways migrate to linux:
