More people are surfing the Net via these Devices than Desktops. 2. Furthermore, while native application development is mostly confined to Java for Android and Objective C for iOS, Web Applications for these Devices using HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and Mysql is becoming a major player in Mobile Application Development. Considering both, I think how CSS is used by Mobile devices is worthy of consideration and study. After all, if we consider how Web Sites are shown via different Desktop Browsers, which is often the topic of this list, then shouldn't we also consider how this technology is used by Mobile Browsers as well? This is a bit like being an expert on transportation discussing buggy-design while thousands of Fords roll off the assembly line.
