Thanks for pointing that out Scandiman. I never had this problem before myself. Don't often use it anyways...scandiman said:
I think it's good all round to be able to visit both versions, mobile & regular. Depends where you are, how much time you have on your hands to navigate through all the information, pictures, etc.
At the end of the day it is great news that all these large companies are choosing to brand their mobile site using the .mobi TLD.
What a day!!!
Good night folks... hopefully more good news tomorrow :zzz:

They probably will. But maybe they just want to try it out on TDNAM first.

Why the desperate attempt to put a damper on all this news, I wonder? His arguments are absolutely meaningless in the face of all this news.
scandiman said:If you mean landrush names at landrush prices you are correct, but I know there are good names to be bought in the aftermarket today if you are prepared to spend 4 figures.mkylut said:I missed the boat
Correct.
I have mobis is for sale right now for $45 in the marketplace, with so much confidence in the extension you'd think I'd be able to sell one of them?
That said, I'm not bashing .mobi. Never did, I just think that alot of you are going to be disappointed because m.whatever.com or whatever.com/mobile or browsers like operamini or phones like the iphone, one of these is bound to turn this dream into a nightmare for alot of investors sitting on their reg's and havent sold them yet. One of the reasons I sold the majority of my mobis already. I had and have my doughts. This is why I bought and flipped asap and was able to make all my money back plus profit.
Yes I'm on the dock alright, just waiting to see if ship mobi sinks or not. I'm not bashing, just playing with ya's so dont take me seriously :great: :kickass:

HasRob,
I don't know where to start. First off, if you are just trying to dump your .mobi's now for a small profit, you are missing the big picture. This is not a "pump and dump" scheme, this is a real extension that is going to take time to build up. Of course you aren't going to get a lot of money right now, it's not about "right now", its about the future.
Secondly, if you already sold most of your .mobi's and you're out of the game, why do you even bother to come to the forum? If you don't believe in it, why not just sell the rest for $45. I just might buy them from you, if they're any good.
Oh, and I don't take you seriously at all :zzz:

This is where I have started to think differently as of late. As I said, I "think" .mobi has a chance of being outdone by technology.
If I buy an iphone or a treo and can view a dot com just fine, or buy a smaller screen cell that comes with say operamini also capable of viewing dot com's just fine, why do the companies whose sites I'm viewing care about .mobi for?
Exactly why I pumped and dumped asap. The future tells me to and the technology to prove .mobi worthless is here now. Again, just my observation and opinion on the matter.
Why am I still here? Because I'm certainly not positive or sure about anything.

Fair enough, but these arguments regarding the "usefullness" of .mobi are really a non issue when large companies start promoting and using them, which is happening now.
Sure, you can get mobile content on a .com, that's not the issue. This is more about branding and marketing than anything else. And also about having an extension with a GUARANTEE of mobile web compliance, so you don't have to guess whether a .com will work properly or not, and you also don't have to guess whether your .com is example.com/moble, or mobile.example.com or whatever.
.mobi makes it clear exactly what it is, and what it is for....AND it's much easier to remember.

The technology isn't far from making .mobi worthless. But rather than look at it that way, why not look at how .mobi can be of "greater worth".
.mobi can indicate that a company has a page which has been carefully designed with mobile users in mind. Whether that redirects to m.domain.com, domain.com/m, domain.com/mobile, mobile.domain.com, wap.domain.com, ... really doesn't matter -- what matters is that they use .mobi as part of their marketing efforts.
As far as able to render full blown websites, I encourage you to visit this link on your cell phone: http://www.reyyy.com
Tell me how long it takes to fully load, and how much it ends up costing you. I wouldn't want to chance that the site I'm about to visit is as poorly designed as this one for mobile users. By introducing .mobi, companies are telling their customers that their site is mobile friendly.
IMO, that will be .mobi's only selling point in the future. But a potentially great selling point it is

And when plans some places are around $5/MB, using 1/2 megabyte every time you visit the site really makes you think hard about how often you visit it

It will be funny talking about this 5 or 10 years from now, when everyone in the world is on a "$29.95 per month unlimited usage" plan!!
