Nah its all good,

. I enjoy reading the debates, its always good to listen to what everyone is saying whether good or bad, truly find very informative the views of the skeptics. Some arguments and points help challenge my own views and push me to re-evaluate my own position.

Simply forcing a square peg into a round spot is not necessarily what dotMobi is doing. dotMobi is introducing the idea of strictly mobile content on an easily spotted medium, .mobi. When you see .mobi, you'll know that the content is GUARANTEED to fit and EFFICIENTLY load.

Again - again - again, no one is saying that .com cannot / does not have mobile content and that even some sites promote m/site.com or site.com/m or site.com/mobile or site.com/wap or wap.site.com or...you get the picture.

The rub is that no one can simply LOOK at a .com site and know for sure that it has a mobile segment to it nor will there ever be even 50% compliance - not even a movement to try to make sites get compliant - not even the hint of such.

You can look at site.mobi and know that it will work on your phone, guaranteed or the site gets pulled. dotMobi has well formed guidelines, an extraordinary support system and a timeline for compliance and a marketing beast that is courting global providers. It looks like they are the leaders in mobile content to me and masses of others, including fortune 1000 companies.

Good debate though.

Yep totally agreed with you movingconcierge.

Not too surprised, just checked all their products. All their cellular phones show nokia.com in the slideshows.

Nokia Web Browser:

View web pages as they were originally intended. Find the section you want and then zoom in
to the content you need. When you start scrolling, the view automatically zooms out to help
you see your destination and lets you steer to get there. Smart Text Fit identifies text and smartly
fits it to the width of the screen, preserving the original design of the web page. And
Visual History keeps a record of your browsing so you can quickly get back to where you were.

HasRob, you had me worried for a sec there. lol.

However, anytime I see a cool toy, I always review the tech specs, to know more about it...which paid off in this reference. The Nokia N800 Internet Tablet (http://www.nokiausa.com/N800/1,9008,feat:1,00.html), requires either a WLAN or compatible mobile phone to access the Internet features. So that got me thinking, hmmm that seems to be good for home use (pc or laptop can be used instead) or possibly as a portable device using the mobile phone's Internet access. At which point the idea of using the mobile phone's Internet access (not yet that fast) happens to throw us back in time to the early stages of the Internet when dialup was the predominant connection to the net...yikes, imagine downloading a website heavy in graphic/video/sound or maybe even an entirely built site in flash (today's typical websites)...with what would compare to a dialup connection?!? Big Yikes...that would take ages to load. Now of course you could add the auto-detection code to screen for this portable unit and feed it lighter code, but that sort of defeated the purpose of having it access the normal dot com site and other tlds/cctlds, since your mobile phone can do this on its own as long as its either been detected by the auto-detect code or you happen to have entered a dot mobi site.
