NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Adopt
We feel strongly that the industry should be adopting these items. We use them when appropriate on our projects.
Mobile web was in our trial ring on previous radars, but we’ve moved it into adopt in recognition of the fact we have created many mobile web applications. We believe this is the right way to create web content for mobile devices.

Trial
Worth pursuing. It is important to understand how to build up this capability. Enterprises should try this technology on a project that can handle the risk.
Mobile Web was in our Assess category on previous radars, but we’ve moved it into Trial in recognition of the fact that the Web is increasingly consumed through iPhone, Android and tablet devices. Many devices can render a fair approximation of a desktop browser experience, but to present the user with a truly optimal experience we recommend adapting a site to the screen size, display and control behaviors particular to the device. Techniques such as progressive enhancement can allow a single site to adapt to both desktop and mobile browsers. Large format mobile devices, such as the Apple iPad and Amazon Kindle, provide a new model of ubiquitous computing. Their long battery life, simple interfaces and easy connectivity have the potential to change the way we interact with computers. Apple’s new user interfaces discard the familiar desktop metaphors of files and folders that have been standard since the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984.
