.mobi Which is better - The actual name dot Mobi or a dot com variation

[opalxx]

Hi, would welcome your thoughts. I have a little mobile biz which i am going to do a blog for so want to reg a name.
Living in aus i was going to reg the dot asia exact name i want but looks like it may be on a downhill run (the dot asia, not australia).

Now, the dot mobi is also avail and relevant to the biz being mobile, so would i be better regging the exact name dot mobi or a variation to reg a dot com, i.e raceways.mobi or mobileraceways.com?

Or, doesn't it really matter?

both

Very much agree - Both.

Eventually you could develop different content for each, with both promoting your business, and double dip at Google.

Well, given your example, I have to say the .mobi -- raceways.mobi is a domain I own!

dot com is the best because everyone know about it and it is easy to remember and i think 95% sites have .com.

Being in AU this may not matter but in the US, sometimes "Mobile" + keyword is relevant for the city of Mobile, Alabama. Googling "Mobile Hotels" for example gives only results for hotels in Mobile Alabama, and nothing relevant to mobile web hotel services.

Without knowing your specific niche it's impossible to guess if this would be an issue or not.
