You raise a great point here David, and highlight one of my bugbears. The mobile experience is currently a set of disparate applications, with not enough integration across to laptop world. Mobile is also not fast enough, even on 3G so it often needs work locally on the device to accommodate.
I admit to being a google fan. I was searching around earlier this week, and located an updated m.google.com. Their new app offers up a phone/ blackberry based search app with google suggest built in, and simple links to gmail app, google maps etc.
Its not perfect, but a good start. We need a holistic view of how we interact with internet and one that can be accessed from any device.
PS... no idea when you redesigned btw but nice. Must get out of google reader periodically :-)

WinMo is way behind at this point. I keep thinking it would be nice to buy one so I could write apps against it, but then I think about all of the hassle of getting ActiveSync and Visual Studio to work. Instead I bought a Zune, wrote three lines of code and had my first Hello World app deployed. I hope the Zune product group gets a crack at WinMo 7.
