Nielsen is wrong on mobile | Opinion | .net magazine.

This is an awesome rebuttal to Nielsens latest controversial statement about how the mobile we should be handled.

For all of Jakob Nielsen’s many great contributions to web usability over the years, his advicefor mobile is just 180-degrees backward. His latest guidelines perpetuate several stubborn mobile myths that have led too many to create ‘lite’ mobile experiences that patronise users, undermine business goals, and soak up design and tech resources.

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.
