This is one thing I love about Google. Most companies will task a group or team with making their website faster -- at Google it's make the web faster.<p>It reminds me of a post-war vision statement at Sony which was basically be the company that "changes the worldwide poor-quality image of Japanese products." It wasn't just about Sony, it was about the whole country -- that's cool.
The biggest thing Google could do for the mobile web is force carriers onto a quicker Android update cycle.<p>The implementation of CSS media queries is broken in nearly all shipped handsets making them pointless as an optimization for sending the correct images to browsers. This isn't likely to change for quite a while.<p>The Android browser really needs to auto-update like the desktop Chrome.
