The Internet is preparing for the coming of the mobile web
One of the attempts to analyze the “big picture” and understand what the mobile web is about was held at a specially organized Mobile 2.0 event, as well as at a special session at the recent recent Le Web 3 conference in Paris. A good selection of information on the mobile web is published in the Understanding Mobile 2.0 program article on the Read / WriteWeb site .
So, what is a mobile web (Mobile 2.0)? According to experts, this is a platform for the integration of Web 2.0 services and mobile devices, which will fundamentally change both the web and the mobile communications market. As a result of this revolution, mobile devices will become the main way of connecting to the Internet in many developed countries, they will become multifunctional, and 3G mobile operators will begin to play the role of Internet providers. It is expected that this process will occur over the next ten years.
Factors that contribute to the mobile web: the spread of broadband wireless access (for example, 3G / UMTS), the migration of traditional telecoms to Internet technologies, the spread of WiFi and hybrid mobile phones with WiFi support, the massive spread of VoIP and the blurring of fixed-line and mobile communications .
As experts have repeatedly noted, many Web 2.0 applications seem to be specially designed for mobile phones : they are ideal for mobile use.

Naturally, there are a number of technical obstacles in the path of the mobile web. Perhaps one way to overcome the technical limitations of mobile networks will be to launch global non-commercial data networks, such as Google WiFi and FON . Another problem of the mobile web is the lack of uniform standards for mobile web applications.
However, the trend is evident. In the wake of the mobile web revolution, new players are urgently entering the market. Computer firms are launching mobile devices that could potentially compete with well-known mobile phones. This includes Apple's iPod, Microsoft's Zune, and Google’s recently announced mobile phone . By the way. Google executives have repeatedly stated that very soon mobile communications in many countries of the world will become free.
Not only large corporations, but also a number of promising startups are actively working in the mobile web area. Here are just the most interesting ones: BluePulse , ComVu , Funambol , Gizmo , Loopt , JuiceCaster, Mobo , Mystrands , Plazes , Plusmo , Sharpcast , SlingMedia , Shozu , SoonR , TalkPlus , Widsets , Winksite .
