Seems you are not up to date.
Likely the new mobile browsers will add automatically by default the .mobi to any word introduced by the user.
So....

.mobi = ZERO fingertips
.com = 12226666
Bottom line = -8 keys

That is why mobi is so landrushed

[wasistdas]

I got a few whi I think are good:

auf.mobi
moy.mobi
uin.mobi
pincode.mobi

[-db-]

I mean this in the nicest, most respectful way possible....

I wish everybody would shut up about .Mobi

I've got 8 already, I only planned to get 3. And despite the high risk and high reg fees involved, it's hard not to get a little excited about the potential when people keep talking about it.

So I'm begging you, please... shut up. I have too many domains already.

Oh, so the needle is in the vein? I still just have my 3 b/c of my PP cash only rule - but I just got a nice fat Google check in the mail....

Truth be told, I found about 10 great names yesterday including calculus, geology, usage and some other nice ones I can't remember. I decided to follow my rule and not buy... Then, suddenly today in a complete moment of weakness, I rushed to godaddy an loaded them all in the search to buy..... ALL GONE!!! Actually has me wondering if Wang Lee is tapped into the .mobi whois database...

Here's a freebie for the fastest domainer: KILOBYTES.MOBI IS AVAILABLE

[MCDomains]

I'm just happy the 2 names I did get (vTalk.mobi & vPhone.mobi) have gone through and I'm in the whois!

Happy mobi'ing!

If you have some inside track to this info let us know. I've heard this rumored but haven't seen anything credible yet. It makes a lot of sense and I hope it happens. I will definately by more names on the 11th if this is a for sure thing!

Current .mobi search on google brings up a total of 42,000 .mobi pages indexed. Only 93 results are unique with the rest being duplicates per google. Let's see how many get indexed when the next google update runs.

I noticed however, that some of the pages are godaddy parking pages. I hope more people will be developing their .mobi sites. I, myself have purchased godaddy's Website Tonight program to develope my one site.

[Bodhi]

I'm going to develop mine right away, they won't be the greatest but I want them indexed asap!!! At least some meta tags, keywords and a few links with some content for now.

[Morgan]

Couldnt help myself had to register another .Mobi

I got OIP.Mobi

Nice letters and typo for Voip if that gets developed.

Also could mean Online Internet Poker etc.

Im hooked again i found ile.mobi availible and had to register it. think of MOB.ILE.Mobi

Do you set the htacess any particular way etc? Thanks for any ideas.

I would also like to know if anyone has set up a site yet, and how you done it? But also does anyone have a template made?

[Bodhi]

I haven't really got a site up, just a psuedo nothing page. I just copied the html from one of the example sites and changed the text. You can check it out at mwp.mobi. No links or anything just some text so I could view it and see how it looks. You can choose "view" in ie and and then source to copy the html if you want.

[qO_Op]

What are the differences between making a normal website to a mobi site apart from it being much smaller? Like are there any rules that .mobi wants us to obey? eg the size of the page, .xhtml or .html? I am looking at the mobi website now, but if someone knows the link already that would be great!

[slugraduate]

I tried the template as well and it was giving me real problems.

MobiDesigns.mobi (and .net) will soon be finalized and offering compliant and validated templates for your mobi.

I'm shooting to release a dozen or so templates and also a mirrored "dot site" option as well.

So you turned down a premium name from me to buy .mobi thingies , you are weak , so very weak.

I got TelephoneNumber.mobi and what we all want to be - Wannabe.mobi - don't ask me why, I don't know , my finger was on the button and when the black cloud had passed they were regged.

Judt picked up another 3 letter IHM.Mobi

Im addicted

[Morgan]

Yep i had found some nice 3 letter names although the registration prices are pretty high. Although i can see these names rising in value quickly.

People please stop talking about .mobi. I bought too many already and

I don't believe it will turn to a mobi.dick world.

[Phronesis]

This thread is becoming reminiscent of UMPC, Blooks, Wii but let me point out there are some great generic names still available. I see people already slipping to typos and "brandables". Just look a little harder and you'll find some real gems.

Yup, it appears so. I am spent out at 3 names.

Again, I must be missing something because I see lots of well known zip codes available.

I haven't delved into the development stuff but had the impression a lot of making a site display on 'mobi type' devices could be done with css. I checked one of my sites which shrinks/expands to fit display size and it did fairly well on one of the test sites referenced in a thread somewhere.

[dag]

According to Pool.com, I got three names that I put in for:

dinefind.mobi
dinesearch.mobi
infobooth.mobi

They seem pretty decent for the domain, but truth is, I didn't realize when I ordered them at Pool that I would automatically be billed for them if they were obtained. I thought there would be a step before that where I'd give final approval to the purchase. So I ended up spending more on mobi than I had intended...I'll just have to hope the domain takes off!

[yesonline]

I regged moneynews.mobi.

[LeDomain]

I'm still debating on the future of MOBI....suppose that debate may not end soon..could take 5-10 years before we understand user patterns...

Anyhow...here is my favorite MoBe.MOBI

[Rochemontagne]

I picked up

Hymen.mobi
