.Mobi must be able to adapt if needs be

binaryman · 01-10-2007, 04:00 PM

The extension has been created and wont go away. So if the .Mobi compatible thing is going to limit .Mobi's success because of device technology making it obsolete then I believe .Mobi should become just another normal tld such as .com. It will still have the Mobile connotation and will give companies and other interested parties who dont have a .com or .net the oppertunity to get a website with a well-known and popular extension.

It will happen as the need arise.

As mobile technology gets better, so can .mobi sites! e.g. flash, ads, mini videos, tv......

As computers get smarter, so can .com sites.

Phones will always have small screens! .com's will always have too much info to give a good consumer experience, whether it's excessive scrolling or zooming, its not gonna change anything imo.

The flexibility is already there with skillful application of CSS and XHTML. A mobile compliant site has the capability of being a beautiful PC site as well. A good example is mobisitegalore.mobi. View it on a PC and on a mobile device and you see 2 completely different displays but similar content. I'm not sure yet how to do it but it is being done.
