Yes, the other trend that may be a huge source for growth is numeric domains, since it is a lot easier to enter 466453.com (represents "google" on a numeric keypad"), which google owns, than to type in "google.com" on a cell phone. Scott over at numericdomains.com says the numeric takes only 14 dial pad inputs whereas spelling out "google.com" on a cell phone keypad takes 36 dial pad inputs. So I think it is very likely we will see a move to numeric domains for mobile phone browsing.
