In case you missed it, this is a great recap of Luke W‘s “Mobile To The Future” presentation by Jeffrey Zeldman. I had the pleasure of seeing Luke present at Penn State Web 2012. I’m happy to see Zeldman’s thoughts on the matter. It’s a great post. I’ve read it three times.

Designing for mobile moves us toward the future (but we need device APIs to make it work).
