On why you shouldn’t create ‘lite’ mobile experiences

The notion that you should create a separate, stripped-down version for ‘the mobile use case’ might be appropriate if such a clean mobile use case existed, but it doesn’t.
[…] Just because I’m on a small screen doesn’t mean I’m interested in less content or want to do less.
[…] Stripping out content from a mobile website is like a book author stripping out chapters from a paperback just because it’s smaller. We use our phones for everything now; there’s no such thing as “this is mobile content, and this is not.”

From the .net Mag article Nielsen is wrong on mobile by Josh Clark.
