Well look at windows market share and apple's and you might as well say apple dominance has been crushed at least in the computer market.
At least Apple isn't loosing ground. Consider the source but during the keynote, Jobs said 50% of their computer sales are to 1st time Apple users. They haven't seen those kind of numbers in a very long time.

You scared the @$%# out of me! Would have been really horrible if it was true... iPhone and all, I figured it must have been a joke however there was that little bit of doubt in me that maybe Steve had something else up his sleeve

Thumbs up apple.mobi ,itunes.mobi NO FALIURE


.mobi is not a faliure : MAY be a Future.


It is a new extention for mobile people .almost everyone of us has a mobile phone , but only less than a quarter use it for internet . IN the near future when there will be more users using internet on their mobile phones , this extention will be very successfull. The mobile market is 3 times bigger than the internet market . and even if a quarter of the mobile users will use internet on their phones , will be for Business , Bookings tickets , reading emails , sending messages , videos download , games /music downloads play online games etc.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/dot-mobi/284685-steve-jobs-on-mobi.html
eg jamster.co.uk will be a great example what people will be doing on mobiles

I currently and in the future donot see domains like homeschool.mobi , sportsbook.mobi have any use in the mobile phones . and eg : sportsbook.mobi can be used for an online scrap jounal ? who may have the time for all this stuff ? who knows .... the buyer seems to have a strong knowledge of his domains worth and what he is going to do in future will multiply his investments as he bought this domain for almost 129800 dolallrs


say for eg : he gets 3 times the return of his investment in 2 years :

that makes it 129800 *3 = 389400 $ a lot of MONEY...

IS he crazy or are we crazy not realizing the potential of these things ???

FACT : more than 1000s of .mobi domains are worthless and Useless and not even worth the registration fees even people just see its used to be a good dotcom name like Butter.com , woodenfloors.com , and have values in xx,xxx SO whats the purpose of a Butter.mobi ,, will people want to order butter from their mobilephones or butter to reload money in their mobile phones ?

people will not want woodenfloors.mobi to order or see wood :: TO buy wood you actually have to see wood from a showroom . this domain can only be used for a wood contact persons company ,, with type in traffic . woodenfloors.mobi .. ( most probably i will see a parking page stating this website is for sale for 50,000 US give your best offers.. )

so the person will probably go to a .com site to see or get wooden floors. as the screen may be bigger than a mobile phones pda etc.

ANSWER TO QUESTION: apple.mobi will have a value for apple.com like they will have a product page with this products on it for mobile phone views. AND itunes.mobi will have GREAT VALUE as it will be used for mp3,4 music videos , music tones and if one sells for 1 $ figure out their revenues like itunes.com
mobile is a big market for this.. so Please explain how could it be a faliure of dot.mobi ...


What i understand is where there is a purpose for something there is a value of something : Hotelres.mobi and hotel.mobi.. has a purpose . people will definately will do hotel reservations from mobile phones.. so these are the things.. to register and hold and will have real value in future..
the .mobi people have left these all to us HOW well we develop their extention and how good we use it and when we develop a site like onlinehotelreservations.mobi and it may sell like xx,xxx THE .mobi reserved domains will have value like xxx,xxx and they will then cash all the RESERVED GEMS...

best of luck to all Dot.mobi domainers
