The World Wide Web is no longer tethered to our desktops and laptops. The Web has gone mobile, providing instant access to information anywhere and anytime. The mobile Websites can be considered a shadow of the World Wide Web, implemented using specialized markup languages and design techniques adapted for comparatively limited mobile phones and PDAs. Despite the growing importance and usage of the mobile Web, surprising little is known about it. PDA and cell phone manufacturers can also estimate minimum hardware specifications for future phones devices. Understanding the nature of Web content shall also drive more accurate simulations of Web content in the research community. In spite of these benefits, surprisingly few attempts have been made to measure mobile Web content and quantify typical page and site characteristics.
