You weren't replying to me, but I would like to answer that one anyway.
The browser may not be "mobile", but the device certainly is. I'm frequently connected to the 'net through my mobile phone, and what matters there is to keep the amount of data transfered as low as possible. Both due to cost (even more so after I checked the accumulated bill only yesterday..) and speed. And there are other reasons too, such as the limited size of the screen. For all of those reasons I prefer to read the mobile version of slashdot.org, for example. (slashdot.org/palm/). Trying to wade through the "standard" slashdot on my N800 would be very time consuming, I wouldn't get much done that day. In addition to the other factors.
In short, there are several very good reasons for sticking to mobile versions of sites for some stuff, on this mobile device.
