Yup pascalo. that's how I feel. I don't like the mobile skin I'm using as it's a subset of functionality of the full website and because phone browsers are near to rivalling the ability of desktop browsers.
But I do see the merit in acknowledging that HTTP requests have an overhead that degrade the experience, and that on a small screen a lot of the page is totally superfluous to the functionality desired (to communicate).
So what I'd rather do instead of consider an app, or have a reduced mobile thing... is just make the main website cleaner and faster... fewer requests and less clutter. So that it becomes even more effortless to use on any device.
