Who really browses on their cell phone anyways?

OK so I been chewing on something Scoble blogged about a couple of days ago.  He's going to start calling web sites out that don't look good on a cell phone.  Why?  Well he says and quotes other people that back him up that Cell Phone Browsing is a trend that is hugely important coming into 2006.

I don't get it.  Are people actually spending their time waiting for sites to load on their phone to make it worth the trouble to download my site?  I don't think so.  How would I be turning away customers if my site isn't mobile compatible?  Do people actually shop online with their phone? 

Maybe it's different on the West coast (as Scoble is in Washington) then it is here in the East Coast (Rochester, NY) but I've only known a couple of people that have their mobile web activated on their phone.  And the two times I seen them use it it was to look up a movie time or look up an answer to a trivia question we absolutely needed to know...of course it wasn't at that minute as it took forever for the pages to load then the T9 typing then the post back I think it took 10 minutes on the phone what would take 20 seconds on a computer.   But it certainly wasn't to look at and answer e-mail.

I bought a Samsung a couple of months ago and I elected not to get the mobile Internet package. Why? because I felt I would never use it.  And I am right.  I would never want to read RSS feed on there as it would be to slow and for the content that required some sort of plug-in what use would it be reading it on the phone?  Buying things online through your phone?  No way I would never do that.  I would sit down at my computer and do that. Don't get me wrong I have bought stuff with my phone but it was games for my phone and it was terribly slow and I won't do it again.

So I ask what is it that makes my web site so important to be viewed on a cell phone?  What would I be missing out on if I didn't have a mobile ready page of my site?  Wouldn't my RSS feeds handle any mobile users that are interested in my site? 

Look to the left for a list of my other sites...MediaGab actually has products that are for sale.
