What is Mobile Web Limitations?

Old mobile devices have screen size from 120×120 pixels up to 320×240 this means that you can show about 6 lines of 25 characters, some mobiles also support a few types of images and multimedia format for example animated GIF is not supported on most phones, the mobile browser of course faces the same limitations that mobile web faces like:

1. Small screen size: This makes it difficult or impossible to see text and graphics dependent on the standard size of a desktop computer screen.
2. Lack of windows: Ability to open more than one window
3. Navigation: No mouse thereby limiting the flexibility in navigation
4. Lack of JavaScript and cookies: Most devices do not support client-side scripting and storage of cookies except smart phones and iPhone, this is not being suitable for uniquely identifying visitors using mobile devices.
5. Speed: Most mobile devices speed of service is very slow, often slower than dial-up Internet access.
6. Types of pages content like (Flash, PDF …)
7. Compressed pages
8. Size of messages: Many devices have limits on the number of characters that can be sent in an email message.
9. Cost: Access and bandwidth charges levied by cell phone networks are much higher than those for fixed-line internet access.

Now day mobile devices try to solve most of the previous problems thought develop some strategies like increasing the screen size, enhance the hard resources like processor capability, add more ram, develop a new operating system (OS), enhance the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network itself or add a network card to provide the wireless access thought using the Wi-Fi technology.
