Times change. If Internet was the main tech revolution of 1990's, mobile communications is the revolution of our time. The next step will be to fully merge these two concepts and allow users to browse the web via their phone at very cheap rates. Today, we look at the various offerings found on most phones. Our hope is that we will familiarize you with some of these solutions and so the next time you buy a phone, you actually also check what browser it's using. That will be a good step towards making carriers and phone manufacturers aware that the mobile web users exist!

Mozilla's Minimo is not a phone browser and it can't be one before the year is 2011 or so. Minimo requires about 24 MBs of RAM just to start up. Compare that to Openwave/Teleca's half a MB, and Netfront/Opera's 4-5 MBs and you will see that it's seen as a beast for this particular industry. Minimo is heavy even for most PDAs today, let alone phones. This is one of the reasons why Nokia went with KHTML and not with Minimo, even if initially showed interest in sponsoring it.

While still very much a work in progress, Minimo is coming along.
