Just noticed this on another forum - http://msn.mobi is up! Looks great on my Blackjack too.

edit: uh, I may be behind the times. I believe this was noted before..

oops.

I must be behind the times also... I thought it used to redirect to mobile.msn.com, or something like that.

Not no more it seems. It's a mobi site.

Perhaps my memory is cloudy... But if it used to redirect, and now goes to the .mobi, perhaps it suggests something about M$ belief about the future of .mobi... Interesting to say the least if that's the case

I would be more excited if they were asking people to bookmark msn.mobi. So...I wouldn't call this a home run, a single with potential to stretch into a double maybe.

garrett200 · 05-22-2007, 01:55 AM

I would love to hear what Labrocca has to say about this. I'm sure he'll come up with something.

Same here in Canada. I haven't used Yahoo (other than for Overture) at all since a computer programmer friend introduced Google to me some 6 years ago. Granted Alexa is downloaded largely by "techies", I'm quite surprised to see Yahoo rank better than Google. Just doesn't seem that way around tech circles here in Canada...

I can't remember using Yahoo other than for OVT. I even used Altavista before google arrived. So my latest search with yahoo was probably in the other millenium...

On my Nokia N73 msn.mobi looks very good but I still wondering why can't such big companies as Microsoft deliver a mobi site with a 5/5 score...
