With emerging technologies comes great change which always ends up affecting people who do not like change, this is actually what is happening certain scholars who claim to Web browsers which come built into smart portable devices such as the iPhone will end up taking away some of our freedom to browse the web and access information the way we are used to. Such remarks are for the most part attributed to the way Web browsers are coded in these devices for instance, PC and MAC are both pure platforms which have open source browser complications that are often improved and debugged by programmers and even those who use the applications, but when it comes to portable devices and smart phones we are limited to the applications which are locked down and controlled by the manufacturer.

The iPhone is a device which allows people to access the web just the way it is, without any changes or major distortions of the web browser which is used is not very flexible, updates and changes to this technology are only developed by the maker of this device, some people might argue that this is actually a good move from the manufacturer ...
... itself due to the fact that the browser is not very vulnerable to all the bad things that come with allowing the user to specify certain settings and modify the way applications are meant to work.

Leaving the web browser aside let's provide some numbers which have been mostly the cause of concern among those who study with patterns and statistics, recent publications had revealed that almost 0.23% of the American traffic is actually coming from portable devices, specifically from users who own iPhones, these numbers were actually revealed by a very well trusted statistics website called Statcounter.

With more and more people access to the Web through portable devices which are capable of rendering the web just the way it is, it is obvious that the market demand will increase as many others will also want to gain access to the Web without any limitations which is a strong selling point of the iPhone, it will be very interesting to see the market trends that this technological shift will have the communications sector as well as in the web development communities.
