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
