We are suggesting that a home page customized for mobile viewing is perhaps more suitable, but I also understand the point you are making and will take that into consideration.
I don't think anyone disagrees with that. The question is over whether no home page at all (just a search bar) is better than a home page that hasn't been customised for mobile users. I'm not sure that it is.
Conversely, one could argue that the question is over whether a working (but simplistic) home page is better than a home page full of content (but broken).
I guess the correct way to answer the question is to determine what mobile users are most interested in when they load the main page: featured content, or a way to access specific content they're looking for using the search box.
I don't have any data on this (perhaps Philip does), but intuitively (and based on my personal use) I'd think it's the latter.
