If StevieP prefers computers so be it, but the rest of the world wants the Internet to move onto mobile phones. There is a commercial factor to dot mobi that shouldn't be overlooked. Dot com has been around for more than a decade. Newbies don't have a chance to get their hands on exciting domains any longer. .Mobi domains are opening up a new playing field. It just means the world is moving on, if you don't like it fine. I for one see a business opportunity as big as back then, 1999-2001 when everybody wanted to own a domain. This is why we are soon going to offer domains selling .Mobis only. Not interested in anything else. The site will be called Mobidiculous. PS: Alex we are not there yet, there is hardly any browser that renders website in a pixel perfect version. Not even Opera Mini. We may be heading in that direction, but do you want to wait for it? What is really necessary are design editors like Dreamweaver that aid the development of wml or .mobi sites. I think that there is mileage in the dot mobi suffix.

My thought is why the need for an additional domain? Google, BBC, and many others are heading towards intelligent device analysis on their sites - ie if you access google.com from a mobile it recognizes that and serves up a 'lite' version of the site, instead of the full blown thing.
