All Domainers: Rumor - .mobi useless because a .com can detect & redirect to a mobile

Nuh uh

Generally (guessing: unless you want to code for every phone that will ever come out in the entire world)

!.) You have PCsite.com
2.) You can either
a.) put a redirect to a mobile version
b.) not put a redirect to a mobile version

if A: Users with device capable phones will be forced redirected to a smaller mobile site and WILL BE UNABLE to view the full PC version site "on the go".

if B: Users with phone devices that can not read the entire PC webpage will not be able to view your site.

This is why the redirect argument has largely failed so far.

Can you name 10 "FULL" Dot Com sites using .com mobile re-directs?

Forced mobile re-directs on the .com are not being used because of the need to preserve the whole pc site in-tact for those devices that can see it..

Thus, the most likely scenario is that world phones will have a choice between the preserved whole .com original site (if phone-capable) or a mobile, easier navigatable, small screen internet through "M." or "/mobile" or a ".mobi" domain (phone-capable)

* Most phones still don't have internet, so this is all truly speculation.

Kind Regards,
