Any thread that starts with "I was wrong" is a winner. Rare is the man wise enough to change his perception to match reality. Good stuff.

If that were true, you'd be reading a pdf or Word document right now. Pdfs are a certain size. The whole point of html is that it was created as a way to make documents that work on any device. The job of a web browser is to format the page to look right on a particular screen, paper, etc. That's what the browser DOES. You just have to get out of the way and stop putting width=mypixels on everything. That and since you know the screen will be "small", don't waste a lot of space with overdone nav bars and stuff. But do not worry about the different sizes of mobile devices and design for certain sizes. Instead, simply stop assuming you know the screen size. When you do that, your pages will accidentally be beautiful on the Playstation, a netbook, and whatever comes next - the iloo or whatever.
