Mobile browsers for corporate use
Interestingly it mentions that due to the lack of quality of mobile browsers e.g. CRM system providers instead chose a client/server approach (which in practice means custom software in the phone). Actually I don't think that will change, as a major problem is that there are too many variants of browser capabilities in current phones, anything from WAP 1.2 to more or less full HTML and Javascript support, and even then provides a worse interaction than the simplest J2ME application. Due to that it's better to stick with Java and retain full control and a high level of security.
Sadly, people seems to consider Windows Mobile 5.0 to be the answer for corporate use, but still there are hardly any phones with Windows Mobile, and I doubt companies will replace all existing phones with more expensive Windows Mobile ditto.
