Nowadays it seems that the internet is moving from PC to the mobile phones. More and more people now use internet through their mobile phones. Reason maybe portability. Why would you bring a laptop if you can perform simple tasks on your mobile phones such as browsing the internet, downloading and uploading stuffs, sending and receiving emails, chat and social networking.
Because of the increasing demand for mobile internet, internet browsers are also being made for the mobile platform.
Here's my list of the best FREE mobile browsers.
