In my opinion that's a poor double standard that will be irrelevant as phones get faster and browsers (hopefully) get better. I believe that I said that Skyfire uses a web proxy and that it's a short-lived vision. While I agree with the notion that the best mobile experiences are designed for the handset, users should be able to surf any site on the web. Otherwise it can make the mobile web a serious turn-off. I've also never seen any interesting let alone impressive mobile AJAX sites. You're welcome to make a recommendation and change my tune.

Opera Mobile has existed for many years ans has supported xmlHttpRequest since at least version 8. It fully supports Ajax. Safari supports the same. Nokia used WebKit before Safari Mobile existed and that supports Ajax. You could say Fennec is the last of the major browsers vendors to support Ajax on mobile. Opera Mobile does not use a server like you mention in the article. Opera Mini does, but this is aimed at lower end handsets that Fennec, Safari and Opera Mobile could not be ported to.
