Google Mobile Showing Desktop Interface For Some?

As we get more and more use to viewing web sites specifically rendered for the mobile view on our devices, seeing large sites not support it is very upsetting to mobile users. In fact, Google has told us there are more mobile searches than desktop searches in the US.

So when you see a site, like Google, show a mobile user a desktop user interface on a mobile device - you go wow. I've seen some complaints across the web of users getting the Google desktop UI for web search results on their mobile devices.

@basstaya was the first screen show I saw of it and it is pretty funny to look at:

He actually shared a couple of screen shots on Twitter.

He said the issue has resolved itself for him, but I had to document it just in case it comes up again.

Forum discussion at Twitter.
