Interesting, if lengthy essay: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cullen328/Smartphone_editing The author's assertion "In my experience, many productive mobile device editors prefer the desktop site" is actually open to empirical testing. Has anyone every tried to find out the percentage of edits from mobile devices that use the desktop version?
These observations on the talk page about the shortcomings of the mobile web interface for curation purposes are also worth reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Cullen328/Smartphone_editing#PamD.27...
Really interesting! Thanks for sharing.
