Thanks for post. It is great that the MSNBC team has decided to create separate web pages for mobile devices rather than making the desktop PC web pages offer a satisfactory user experience on Mobile devices.

I think MSNBC’s mobile browser is great. I use it all the time.

I really do appreciate you taking the time to comment here, Tim. I am watching with interest the work of the Mobile Web Initiative on Adaptation and Device Detection. It really would be great if a single URI could work like that.

However in very human societies with all the technical challenges, I believe many entities will take the easy route as Microsoft seems to have done.

“One Web” isn’t about using the same content for every device at all — content adaptation server-side is often very important.

The web is about a space of URIs. One Web means I can use the same URI bookmarked on one machine (say my desktop) and looked up on another (say my phone). It means getting the best experience posisble from each platform. There are a number of techniques to do this. Separation of form and content, good use of style sheet, media-specific style, and content adaptation are among them.

So the test of the web site is that — can I bookmark something on one device and usefully look it up on another?
