My impression of mobile browsing is: people browse on mobile devices with a specific purpose in mind (unlike on the web).

This means, sites like Google will return specific results in a search query and the user will want to click that specific element of information.

For example: If you entered ‘Italian restaurants’ : then a Google mobile search will return specific addresses of nearby Italian restaurants(including perhaps means to directly SMS these restaurants from the mobile site)…. Source: Open Gardens
