    yeah, .mobi's are worth it. flowers.mobi just sold for a good chunk recently.

    do you know where you can register them at? I haven't found a registrar yet...

    Thanks, I might invest some .mobi but the price is to expensive IMO.

    Another question, how you develop .mobi site? isn't it different with the normal web....?

    Site has nothing to do with the domain.
    But I think you'd better develop something about mobile phone with the .mobi domain.

    It's not long..I'm curious why did you register this domain?Any reasons?

    Namecheap.com is always the best registrar.

    why is that? I though .mobi is for site that code for for moblie device i.e. smaller resolution, smaller images and lower quality. The point is the make that site fit the smaller screen and load faster because of bandwidth

    it is suppose to be a mini-me verison of a normal website...

    .mobi websites will be viewed on internet-enabled mobile phones.

    The webpages will be coded and designed differently but with practice ordinary folk will acquire the ability to make their own .mobi pages.

    see http://www.dotster.com/design/custom/mobibuild

    It's going to be interesting to see the take-up of .mobi by the internet surfing mainstream (if it happens). It's going to come down to the marketing of the TLD sponsors (ericsson, nokia, microsoft etc) and the type of mobile content delivered, not only on .mobi sites, but also .com etc.

    Apart from flowers.mobi and fun.mobi, the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction didn't really take off for the .mobis perhaps it's still early days. I think most that purchased .mobi in the landrush are realistic - it's a real possibility that it may flop (but hopefully not :) )

    If you're having trouble registering, try moniker.com
