Right now, I know how few mobile web users there are in the US (other than early adopters and business users) given ridiculous access charges so there is very little incentive for me and others to do it. In terms of modularizing apps - that is something that can easily be done, there just needs to be the motivation to do it :-) Justin,

I hope mobile and video will take off in a big way in 2008. For mobile, you need the cheap sensible data plans and you need good phones. You can see things starting to head in that direction. Actually just about everyone else in the world is doing into the Mobile Web already except for America. The big challenge for dev's is that we're going to need to modularize our apps in a big way. We right all of our apps to be viewed on a desktop but that won't necessarily work well on a phone. I'd recommend you buy this book... if you don't want to, i'd be happy to loan it to you. http://mobilewebbook.com/ In regards to video... the short stuff is great for my computer but anything long form I need to be watching it on my TV. I haven't seen an easy simple solution for that that is cost effective. I'm hoping that all changes at MacWorld. Dude, I agree with you. I hope mobile and video will take off in a big way in 2008.
