The internet is more like a organism and the devices used to access its content will always have to adapt to the way it is and not the other way around.

Not a good trend. I don't think so. People just won't buy that any more. I'll quote Ari Jaaksi, who runs the Nokia open source software operations (and used to develop their WAP browser): "It amazes me that I still see signs of this thinking. Web pages and services are tailored to small screens and people expect that to create the mobile internet. It won’t. There is only one internet, and if your device cannot access it, you’re out of luck.
