I agree entirely, but nothing prevents a mobile gopher client 
displaying (or more likely storing for later display, in my case) 
images.  I expect such images would be more relevant to the task than 
95% of web images.  It also helps navigation speed to have a 
consistent user interface, such as gopher menus, and not to have to 
process dense markup.  I think gopher probably will come out ahead on 
access speed for most tasks usually done on mobiles, from combining 
lots of reasons.  As has been said, there's quite a few similar 
solutions in WAP interfaces as gopher ones.
