People use apps on their phones, not the web. Mobile web is a subpar experience. LTE will fix some of the speed issues. HTML5...well that's going to take a lot longer than people think. Cool technology but ANY lag with a gesture makes the touch interaction feel broken.
I've been thinking on this problem for the past 4 months. Seems like you're pretty passionate about it too. It's a big problem for users, and companies are sitting back and ignoring it. I have lots of theories as to why. Would love to meet up in person and share thoughts.
