Think about it for a sec - Web is too complex for mobile devices
- isn’t it ?!
Internet usage has evolved...
• “Web 2.0”, user participation, dynamic content
• Variety of services, accounts, contexts and social networks in use
• Access everywhere, anytime
… and became very complex for mobile devices
• Poor user experience, small screen, restricted input
• Polling for new information
• Data traffic and cost
