I have been doing desktop research for the past week on web browsing on mobile. Come across this recent report about China's mobile web user rise by 113% in 2008. 39.5% of Chinese Internet users or More than 117 millions chinese users have gone online from their mobile.
Neilsen Mobile has reported that in their News Release that Mobile Internet Extends the Reach of Leading Internet sites by 13%
There is another recent article on Wall Street Journal that talked about using cellphones to surf the Internet is booming in emerging market like Indonesia.
These are positive signs leading to the trend that web is becoming more integrated with mobile technology. The improvement in handsets technology as well as the robust/high speed mobile network with affordable bundled/flat rate data pricing has helped in the moving the trend.
Browsers on Nokia S60 (3.1, 3.2, 5th edition) and Series 40 6th edition devices support full web browsing. From our consumer research, Smartphone 360 in UK, Nokia web browser is one of the popular applications used by consumers and its usage increased over the years 2005 - 2008.
Dont you agree that it is increasingly difficult to talk about Internet, without the conversation quickly turning to mobile phones?

There’s no stopping the convergence of mobile technology and internet. However, in many countries it is still considered as luxury.

I totally agree. In the emerging markets, many people's first experience with the Internet will be on their mobile phone/devices, I believe.
