You are 100% correct. They probably all missed this because the executive class all used Blackberry's (Google executives and Microsoft executives) which is another "also ran" in the business. I agree with your point about mobile browsers. No one ever putting much of any effort into supporting fast rendering of html or javascript much less AJAX in the web browser applications and feature phones all used something other than HTML like WAP. The best a user could hope for was a phone with a fast web proxy that performed the rendering like Opera Mini. > Opera Software pioneered with its Small Screen Rendering (SSR) and Medium Screen Rendering (MSR) technology. The Opera web browser is able to reformat regular web pages for optimal fit on small screens and medium-sized (PDA) screens. It was also the first widely available mobile browser to support Ajax and the first mobile browser to pass ACID2 test. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_browser https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_browser Web hosting providers and content creators didn't put much effort in to creating an alternate internet using WAP and WML. It just never materialized as viable.
