mobile web design strategy by brian fling

1. Do nothing.
2. Kill all styling and allow raw HTML to be rendered.
3. Use media="handheld" stylesheets.
4. Repurpose content, code, and images specifically for mobile users.

Strategy #4 is the preferred one. The ROI for user value and browsing speed is unmatched by the other three.

from an article in wall street journal 19.04.2007
"companies overlook how products are used" - mit sloan management review
- there should be a comprehesive examination into how customers actually use products, rather than how they claim to use them.
- companies also should look for signs of customers awkwardly compensating for the absence of a product that can do what they really want.

"the customer rarely buys what the business thinks it sells him." - Peter Drucker, business guru
