one for mobiles, one for everyone else. That would be fine by me, I don't use my phone for anything but a phone. But I bet the non-mobile sites would be treated as second-class. Mobile users are in a bigger hurry to be separated from their cash -- I long ago decided the iPhone was basically a tool for spending money.

Maybe we'll have to go back to fidonet, or something. I kind of like the idea of a People's Web -- no commerce.
