Even though a million plus results show, I've found only a few hundred sites that actually show.
Make sure you turn off "Safe Search" at the bottom of the page. The "Prev" and "More" links are hard to see at the bottom of the page located just above the "Safe Search" feature.
I must say that I was intrigued when I started surfing these sites. However, after about 15 minutes, I became bored out of my gord. I would like to think that mobile websites will one day be as interactive and content-rich as the PCs' but, with their small screen limitation, among other things, I just don't see it.
Maybe handhelds will one day have expandable Star Trek-like screens. But if that happens, then any TLD should do well on the handheld. So maybe the .mobi is just a transitional TLD, or will become the WebVan of TLDs. I just don't know.
I will admit, that despite the cons of the mobi TLD, I still bought 22 of them, just in case. I have resisted buying more because every time I attempt to do so, I stop and recognize that I am fantasizing about finding keyword mobis as if they were the same thing as 1994 .coms. They're not.
On a final, but more promising note, perhaps the mobi will become so widely accepted and used that one day it will become a universal global TLD that autodetects the PC browser to give the viewer both mobile and PC viewing.
