Web Worker Daily has a post today on the growing popularity of Internet browsing on mobile devices. They also cite a recent T-Mobile study that finds many people use their mobile Internet connections to access the Web while at work when employers restrict Internet usage. Interestingly the study also found that 15% of respondents admit to surfing the Web on their mobile while in the bathroom...

Jeremy Wagstaff at Loose Wire Blog offers this thought on the trend toward mobile browsing:
"History will find it weird, not that we connect to the Web on the john with a device once designed to make phone calls, but that for 15 years we had to do that via a big hunk of metal, plastic and wires sitting in the middle of what used to be a big open space called a desk." (Loose Wire Blog)
Take a minute to check out both articles if you have the time. They provide some interesting thought on where the industry is going.
