I bought pomegranate,mobi off Yelo last year with the intention of developing it (still am, but need to find some free time!).
Pomegranate is a great 1 word domain which has instant recognizability in the health food and designer drink market, where it represents a $100M+ annual market.
Estibot suggests Pomegranate.com as being worth $120,000 -- I wouldn't doubt a major player in the pomegranate industry like Pom Wonderful would be anything but ecstatic to snatch it up at that price...
So .mobi won't ever be .com?
I sure hope the next time I want to design a little mini-site (like I have planned for this one) I don't have to cough up $100,000+ like I'd have to for a half-decent dictionary word .com...
I renewed my 100 strongest .mobis and don't have any intention of dropping any of these come renewal time next year. Most of them are strong category or product defining names like antioxidant, pomegranate, ginseng. I couldn't imagine what many of these names would cost in dotcom...
I inquired about getting several of them in .info and each domain was quoted in the $1000-$10,000+ range. Plenty of small businesses don't have $10,000 -- nevermind $100,000 to spend on a domain name...
For a new, mobile-only business, what's wrong with dotmobi?
