Doc Searls’ word is not catchy* but phrowser definitely coins what I do with my iPhone most. Before it I never used the “mobile” web but now I often reach for the iPhone on the coffee table rather than the MacBook Pro when I want to look up Spider Pig or a sports score. And it applies to the iTouch too. A friend’s wife got one last week and over the weekend this most un-geek of a man was sitting on his couch checking his fantasy soccer league scores on the iTouch.
It is a gem of a web enabled device.
BTW if you have an iPhone or iTouch and find the browser frustrating then you might not know about the double-tap feature. Double-tap on a section of the site to zoom in, double-tap to zoom out. It generally figures out the rectangle of content you want to zoom in to. The pinch-to-zoom feature is cute but the double-tap feature is just plain useful.
* Not that “catchiness” always matters. Google was a maths geek term before Google the company. Facebook is unwieldy but just got added to the dictionary. etc.
