What a pity. Can you imagine what a boost that would have been for .Mobi?

That's a pity for .mobi. What the hell do those Chinese guys want with those domains? Sell them to the Western TM holders for a profit? And I guess there is nothing Mtld or the holders of the Western TM's can do about it?
And why did Linden labs not reg the .mobi version when they had a chance?
Hell..it would have been super for .mobi.

I'm seeing some existing brands doing the:
M.Domain.com

It unfortunately is going to take some time before the masses go the true mobile way, and like always, it would have to start in europe / asia before the US takes it off
