Movie tickets, airline ticket, most online stores. Being Java it of course also doesn’t work on mobile phones, pads, etc.
They are starting to roll out a version for mobile phones now, but it requires that your operator supports it and many will need a new sim card so it takes time.
In the meantime if you are out with your friend and you finds out you want to see a movie, you will have to walk to the theater or call a friend with a pc to buy a ticket. You can't just do it online from you iPhone (some movie theaters may have a app for that, but not where I currently live :( ).
It feels especially bad because it wasn't always like this. Before the massive adoption of Bank ID you could do almost anything online from your phone.
