Mobile websites are becoming increasingly important but many are turning towards having app versions of their products and the differences are pretty noticeable. On the App version on the right the information looks a lot cleaner without having the dark bars everywhere separating information, yet on the left the videos on youtube are displayed in a more functional manner that would be more beneficial in the app where there is more space.
Apps also don't have to rely on the mobile web browser which can be a pro or con depending on the company which is producing the app. There are also features in the apps that can't be achieved in a web browser like the Youtube App's picture in picture function that allows you to watch a video while scrolling through to find the next one.
So even with mobile websites being important by the time they made their way into the curriculum there is already more ways to handle this mobile web browsing need than we have even touched.
