Great article! Best tip here is to make it simple! Who wants to scroll around on a confusing mobile website. It kind of defeats the purpose.

Very nice tips indeed, however there are some things that i would reconsider.
that being trying to keep the information similar on both the normal website and the mobile version.
This is not a good idea, as there needs rather to be a thought about what kind of information is viable in a mobile kontext, vs a stationary kontext. Science has however shown that alot of people access the web through their mobile phones even at home, when access to stationary media is available.

Therefore i would recommend having a selection of short version information on the mobile version while linking to full site version if the user would like to read it all.
Personally i use the mobile for the application related features while most informative pages stay on the fullversion, exept contact information, opening hours and such information that is directly related to the world you figure in.

Also, its very intressting statistics, very different from our europe ones..
