Glad to see this topic has led to an interesting debate.
I think Curt's comments reflect my point exactly that mobile browsing IS
different. Trying to render fixed web sites on a mobile will never work as
fixed web will by its nature always be ahead and support features not yet
available on most handsets. Also as you state the screen is *smaller*.
Pretty major differences IMHO. Trying to squeeze / shoehorn fixed web
content onto mobiles is just not the answer
Sorry you didn't stay till the end of our flash demo you might have learnt
something. We are a small technology company with a very innovative idea
that is taking off with MNOs in Europe. It is difficult to explain a very
new idea like this in a few seconds and our marketing is always open for
improvements.

Is that indeed a fact? I find it surprising, since in my entire office
there's not a single person who sets google as a home page. And to do so
would be a bit redundant with some browsers, such as Mozilla or Firefox,
since you can use your search engine of choice from an input box in the
toolbar.
