Scoble says everyone needs to redesign their Web sites so it looks good on a cell phone.
There’s some very simple tips to make your site work great on cell phones (millions of people look at the Web on cell phones and that number is going up every day). A poorly designed site does makes it very frustrating to look at sites on cell phones, though.
Just for the record, I don’t plan to redesign my site so it can be browsed on a cell phone. I don’t want people browsing my site from a two-inch screen. On this site I talk about how to make better use of your personal computer running Windows and Office. It only makes sense to read it on a PC running Windows.
I think Robert may need an intervention.

I agree Scoble needs some help.
Amen. Phones are a nuisance to me mainly because I hate talking on them it tires me very quickly. But surfing on one? Never.*
*Ever.
Never say never. This is an inevitable trend. I would even be willing to bet there will be a day when we can say the same thing about PC’s. That it is a pain in the ass to have to sit in front of one to browse the web. In my own opinion lack of mobility is a pain in the ass. Remember there are more devices out there small screens than cell phones. As mentioned by Scoble, RSS feeds may make this a moot point. I much prefer to read RSS feeds and in these cases I could care less what your site looks like because I never see it anyways.
Agreed. “Never” is a word designed to make one look stupid. But I think for the foreseeable future Web browsing on the phone is a good way to look for a nearby pizza restaurant or check movie starting times, and not for serious reading.
And I still think Scoble needs an intervention. 😉
“On this site I talk about how to make better use of your personal computer running Windows and Office. It only makes sense to read it on a PC running Windows.”
Does this mean that someone who runs Linux at work and Windows and Office at home shouldn’t bother reading your site from work? No! Because they can still read your tips and information. The information itself is the interesting thing, not the medium in which that information is conveyed. Mobile browsing is of most interest to commuters who don’t wish to get thier laptops out on their crowded train. Let them catch up with what you have to say, when they want to read it!
I, like the fellow above, read this site through RSS, and as such don’t care how your site looks – but proper use of XML will allow today’s phones to look at your information whenever and whereever it’s needed.
Robert does tend to go off the deep end when he gets a new toy.
Short term, I agree that RSS addresses most of the need to surf on the small screen (I have a Sony Clie UX50 that I read Newsgator Online and Bloglines with – both have a mobile-optimized URL). And, when I use my wife’s cell phone to check scores (I hate cell phones and carry the cheapest pre-paid unit I could find), it’s nice that there’s a small-screen optimized web display offered by Sprint.
Longer term, I hope that this is something we;’ll be able to address with CSS and/or DHTML.
I realize this is an older article but I wanted to put in my two cents worth. Actually, I browse the web on my cell phone, a sidekickII, and LOVE it! I love the easy portability. I’ve bookmarked maps before a trip and have them handy as I travel. I’ve verified addresses while on the road. I love sitting out back in my garden and looking up perennials. A McDonald’s parking lot and catching up on the news and various blogs. The transmission is slow and it will never replace my laptop. Sometimes the odd ways a page formats on the small screen renders it useless, but those times are in the minority. My package through T-mobile is 29 dollars a month with unlimited web, email, text messaging. Since I rarely use the phone, it’s basically browser on the go and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Just thought you might be interested in the positive view.
