Desktop PCs from a Mobile Perspective

This blog started out with the tagline, the Mobile Web from a Desktop perspective.  Many assumed that tweaking the web pages on standard websites would make them suitable for smart phones surfing on the mobile Web.  Progressively that has become less and less tenable.  Nevertheless many seem to assume that the real Internet space is that visited via a desktop PC.

There are a number of factors that mean that it is only a matter of time until the Mobile Web becomes the predominant cyber-space.  Consider a few of them:

  • People are increasingly ‘on the go’
  • Small is beautiful
  • Small is cheaper
  • Cloud computing puts the software ‘out there’ and only a simple input/output device is needed
  • Speech technology can overcome the extreme challenge of those tiny keypads

If you don’t find those arguments compelling, then perhaps you need to study the behavior and attitude of those who can accelerate the pace of change.  On that, the headline says it all.

Google Adopts a New Strategy: Mobile First

At the Mobile World Congress tradeshow, Google CEO Eric Schmidt announced that more of his company’s focus is now on smartphones than on desktops. He summed this up with a new motto: “Mobile First“.

With this rule, Google developers are now creating versions of new services for smartphones before creating ones to run on PCs.

In his opinion, the key reason for this is the importance of cloud computing, where applications and data are handled by the Internet.

Google is a leading proponent of cloud computing. Its Android operating system for smartphones depends heavily on always-on, high-speed wireless data connections, since many of its more advanced features are handled in the cloud, such as speech recognition.

I believe it’s the time for us all to smell that coffee.  It’s certainly on the go.
