It looks pretty much identical to this "iPhone special style"]]>Dec 5th 2007 10:18AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/
Pretty soon everything will be optimized for the iPhone, so what the big deal. It's like....inevitable. It's like the Borg always say, "We will assimilate you."]]>Dec 5th 2007 8:59AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/Dec 5th 2007 9:59AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/Dec 5th 2007 10:59AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/
Why are so many sites optimizing for a device that supposedly doesn't need it?]]>Dec 5th 2007 9:46AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/
The iPhone Safari browser will accurately render a web page like Engadget, nytimes.com, etc as it is intended for a desktop, but the fact is, you're still viewing on a smaller screen, and at full size, either everything will be very small to read and interact with, or require a lot of scrolling.

iPhone optimized sites mitigate one or more of those issues.]]>Dec 5th 2007 10:41AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/Dec 5th 2007 9:48AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/Dec 5th 2007 11:19AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/

Its likely the 3G iPhone will keep EDGE for data as EDGE is technically a 3G technology (more like 2.75G). Apple needs to use HSDPA for data on the new 3G iPhone to make people happy but they won't do this until the 3rd or 4th Gen iPhone. That's Apple's way.

I'm no expert but a knowledgeable friend explained it to me like this; EDGE is slow, like a wireless dial-up connection. EV-DO (verizon/sprint) is fast and consistent - having consistency in the connection keeps the speed down a little from its full potential. HSDPA is the fastest but not as consistent as EV-DO.

Consumers will put up with the lack of consistent fast speeds if they get really fast speeds when it does work. So HSDPA will win the consumer market. EV-DO will keep many business users as they will opt for consistency in the connection over the slight gain in speed. EDGE will be forgotten.]]>Dec 12th 2007 1:11PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/05/google-launches-iphone-optimized-front-page/
