Will iPad Actually Chill Development of Mobile Web Pages?

[Commentary] The iPhone is the face that launched a thousand mobile websites-actually, more like 326,600, according to a recent study by Taptu, a mobile search engine. That number is growing by leaps and bounds in various areas of the web, such as shopping and services, the survey concludes. There seems to be no stopping the trend, or is there? With its 10-inch screen, the iPad has the potential of slowing the development of mobile websites and bring back traditional desktop ones. The reason: Traditional websites look great on the iPad. Website browsing is the reason the iPad was developed in the first place. "iPad offers the best Web browsing experience there is-way better than laptops," said Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
