Demonstration of the mobile Internet?

Question

I’m trying to determine what types of interactions a mobile site can work with. For example, I obviously cannot track page-level drag and drop operations because it scrolls in mobile browsers. So, I'm looking for demos that can tell me which interactions work, how well, and hopefully for information on how consistently this happens on mobile devices. For example, I would like to know if I have a page that fits on the screen, will my page elements receive mouse movements when I drag my finger? I could test this myself, but I suppose there are probably a lot of things to test, so I was hoping there was something like an ACID test, but for mobile user interface interactions.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a thing, but you need to remember that the browser is just one of the key factors in the interaction between your application and the user. The capabilities of the device itself are a large part of what you can and cannot do. First off, the iPhone has a full JavaScript stack and CSS rendering capabilities, as well as a “click” capability. However, on BlackBerry you will lose a lot of CSS and JavaScript features. In addition, with Nokia phones you will be dealing with another beast. The best development method for something like this would be to use a structure / device template, such as the ASP.NET mobile platform , or go as close as possible to the underlying HTML.
