Sorry, by "web" I meant websites. Mobile layouts are nice when they are implemented correctly. The worst case is when a mobile version routes your request to a default landing page rather than the requested article or whatever or strips out functionality that exists in the regular version.
I expect that things will only improve as more people access the web via mobile devices. I think I use my phone more than a standard computer these days.
Yes, I think we're agreeing, but, to clarify, I meant that it's not websites in general (as in, the technology) that sucks, but particular websites (most of them) which haven't correctly implemented mobile-friendly versions.
By far my favourite are websites which detects you are on a mobile device and then (automatically, no questions asked, no override available) "redirects" you to what is supposedly the same content on their mobile site.
And then the mobile site crashes for whatever reason? Malformed URL? Heck if I know. I just know I can't get to the website.
It also seems a lot of websites has a "standard" mobile-version (which is basically some iPhone-app like standard theme) which also always crashes when visited. Might be a WP-plugin, but I'm honestly not sure. 90% of the time though, it crashes and it wont let you go to the original web-page either.
Really. Until the web gets better at dealing with mobile devices, you will see applications like this being popular.
