What we really need is a way to get bigger screens on our cellphones." Well that's a whole 'nother issue. You can go bigger screen to hold more content, but you'll have a bigger phone. You can attempt to get "bigger" web content on your phone, but with websites pushing content to fit a 1024X768+ resolution, then it's an issue of optimizing content. Thus widgeting content seems the new way to go, which Apple seems to have stumbled onto - meaning strip what you essentially want from a website and only get that info and function. After that, you go home or to work if you need more content and interactivity. “This is an interesting concept, but I am not sure how much it ads to the browsing experience.
