The original article by Jakob Nielsen: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/mobile-usability.html
The article was found through informationdesign.org in its ‘Usability’ category. And that site was found through informationweek.com that is not only an on-line version of Information Week magazine but a large news web site about information technologies.
In the article “Mobile Web 2009 = Desktop Web 1998” posted on February 17, 2009 its author, Jacob Nielsen, a researcher on user interfaces, debates about the weaknesses of mobile web usability and that progress in it moved just at half pace of wired usability during the nine year period. Based on his research Mr. Nielsen finds that today mobile web user experience quality is really poor and for its improvement a lot of progressive changes should be done in both ways: mobile devices and mobile web sites. Sites must develop specialized designs that optimize the mobile user experience and the iPhone is a great starting point for mobile online-services access.
I find this article could be interesting for the class, because we all use mobile phones and internet. And I’m pretty sure that everyone was excited when the Internet became mobile and those features became more available. In my experience I was disappointed and turned the Internet features off on my T-Mobile Wing in 3 months (I would like to do that even earlier, but the contract didn’t let me). It was too slow and, because of that, unnecessary. I guess progressive improvements in this field will be the good news for a lot of people.
