In 2002, there was obviously no Facebook or Twitter. (Even Myspace didn't exist yet!) There was no YouTube, no GMail. What did people even use mobile devices for? :D

Yeah, there definitely was. Windows Mobile devices were actually pretty powerful in the late 90's. WinCE I think.

Of course, I probably have a skewed perspective, since I didn't even have a cell phone until 2002.

*was using PowWow (primative VoIP), IRC, ICQ, Yahoo webmail and YIM in '96*

AFAIK, mobile web stuff didn't really come together til after '04.

I know these other sites existed, but how many people were actually accessing them from a mobile device?
- Victor Ganata
Some sites used WAP back then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki.... I really only remember Yahoo being one of them. I didn't use it all that much.
