A new mobile market research project now <A HREF="http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,140237-pg,1/article.html">measures and ranks mobile Web sites,</A> trying to identify how well they perform for handheld device users.
Intended to be an ongoing weekly measure of mobile Web performance, the mobile Web performance index, from Keynote Competitive Research, uses a trio of metrics to evaluate 10 popular online destinations.
