Recently I've noticed some sites/apps allow more features when using a mobil device vs. using a desktop PC. For instance, there's a relatively new site heard about last year called OfferUp, which is a classified ads site similar Craigslist - With OfferUp, you can only post items for sale from a mobile device. Their web site lets you browse items (and message people, I believe but you can't post items for sale from their web site. I had a hard time understanding why, but I suppose it's a sign that more people are using mobi devices than desktop/laptop PCs these days?
Similarly, I've heard of stores that offer coupons with a bigger discount wh using a mobile device vs. a desktop/laptop PC. This seems harder to underst for me - I'm not sure why a store would care what type of device you're usin
I agree with that assessment. I, personally, use my phone for just about everything, and I do use it more than my own laptop. I even run a DOS "VM" on phone to log onto BBSes. I am even using DOSBox Turbo on my phone to work on a side programming project using FreeBASIC.

What site is doing that? I do agree that seems odd that there are retailers that might do that, but the only reason I can see is to drive more mobile device traffic; that still doesn't seem right, though.

Do you use the on-screen keyboard or a Bluetooth keyboard? I have a hard ti feeling very productive on a phone because I type much more slowly on the on-screen keyboard, and I make more typing mistakes with it too. I've heard people say mobile devices are more for consumption (of content) and laptops/ are better for content creation, and generally I agree with that. For tasks requiring a lot of typing and editing, I find it a lot easier with a laptop PC where I can use a real keyboard and mouse.
