With the influx of mobile phones with larger screens that support full-size websites, do we still need .mobi? Even though many mobile phones can browse any website, a more concise and straight-forward website is easier to navigate on the mobile web. Does that mean we keep the .mobi extension? That remains to be seen.
Take eBay for instance, their mobile website is hosted at http://m.ebay.com/. As the internet evolves mobile websites will adapt to the .com world not the other way around. Although we should see a marriage between the two.
So what are we all going to do with our .mobi domains? Is Google giving special treatment for .mobi domains in mobile search? I suspect we will see a change in the next couple of months with the partnerships between Google and Nokia (and recently Yahoo! and HP).
So are .mobi domains obsolete? Maybe you can sell your .mobi domain to the singer moby? Or, maybe not.
