The mobile market? You mean pre-smartphone era stuff like WAP browsing? Yeah
RIP could've possibly had something there. I was thinking more of the
Spinnaker web server that had direct integration with Searchlight. Spinnaker
was buggy as hell but if it was fixed up and *really* worked on seriously it
had the potential for something interesting. It was purely database-driven and
in a weird way seemed like the precursor to CMS-websites like Wordpress.
