How the Iphone will "stir it up" with dot mobi
I wrote this on another thread, but I feel it is valuable enough to have its own thread/discussion
----------------------------------------------
What are the implications of the technologically advancing "Iphone" etc., dot mobi, and the unfolding mobile internet revolution?
The Iphone advance is very important, and we must take a closer look..
This is what I see..
----------------------------------
Can a whole.com site really be seen on the IPhone? Apparently much of it.. but..
But it can already be seen, the whole site, but with scrollbars on my TREO 700 with Windows mobile!
So with a better screen resolution I guess that means just less scrolling!
This is what I have been saying, some dot mobi bashers are advocating for a mobile forced redirect on the .com! But what if I had an Iphone like device in the future and then I got a small content version of the .com instead of full with a forced mobile redirect? Keep the .com full info preserved, just use scrollbars! Put the device detect, then , on the .mobi to serve any device - from PDA to desktop.. The Iphone means - we must keep the full blown dot coms valuable info preserved and accessible by anyone "on the go". No .com redirect, period - the best advocacy for the user experience is giving the mobile user a choice:
1.) .COM = COMputer version full info access on PDA
2.) .MOBI = MOBIle device any type and upwards
Do the redirects on the .mobi
.mobi is useful =)
