Several big websites with complicated pages that are difficult to view on an iPhone's small screen have begun creating mobile-sized web portals to make things easier for iPhone owners, but the compacted sites may be backfiring.

Web monitoring firm NetApplications has released the results of a study recently that show that the use of iPhones for web browsing has increased greatly with the launch of the iPhone 3G. Interestingly, 9to5 Mac has calculated that, based on the released information, iPhone web browsing spikes 50-70% on weekends.
