Baidu is HUGE!! Very good news! Also, it doesnt matter where it forwards to because all people have to know is to go to Baidu.mobi. This will give recognition to .mobi to hundreds of millions of people.

Great find. Kind of ironic that the "other" search engine site (which also happens to be a backer) has not yet taken this step. Maybe this will speed them up.....

Excellent find Ajkula!!!

Baidu is known as the "Google of China"

Baidu.mobi is a game changer.

BTW - On my T-Mobile Dash Baidu.mobi does not redirect

I know we have endured much bashing for our interest and enthusiasm for .mobi but no need to rub it in. Let's just enjoy this great find for what it is.

Great news for China mobi market.

But haven't seen any promotion for the site.

Baidu.com is the biggest search engine in China, holding more than 80% of the market.
