I was surprised by how incredibly good the Amazon android app is—it seems to have basically all of the features of the website in a vastly more focused and usable form. Of course some of that is because Amazon's website is awful, full of noise and random goop that's simply distracting 95% of the time. But still, I think that actually reflects a lot of websites: the actual content takes up a small fraction of the page, and is surrounded by noise; even those which are less clumsy/cluttered than Amazon often fill the space with graphical prettiness rather than useful content. A small-screen interface can often just eliminate the noise and will be better for it.
