Cheap Mobi Domains

Mobi domain names were made available for public registration on September 26, 2006. Although introduced quite recently, .mobi has already made headlines with several domain sales in the hundred-thousand-dollar range, including Flowers.mobi, Sportsbook.mobi, and Fun.mobi. Providing content tailored to particular devices can be done by other means than a specific TLD, such as using hostnames within an existing domain, HTTP content negotiation, cascading style sheets, or other forms of adaptation. tMobi engaged with the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) to help formulate the MWI Best Practices for mobile content. The practices outlined a number of ways to achieve good user experiences on mobile Web-enabled devices, and recognized several methods of implementing these practices. mTLD has released a free testing tool called Ready.mobi to analyze the mobile readiness of websites. It does a free page analysis and gives a .mobi Ready score from 1 to 5. This report tests the mobile-readiness of the site using dotMobi's recommended best practices. Free authoring tools can also be utilized to create .mobi-compatible sites. Site.mobi, offered by mTLD and powered by mobiSiteGalore, is a free browser-based mobile website builder tool that guarantees a fully .mobi-compliant mobile website. mTLD also offers free training and ebooks about .mobi at MobiForge and a free emulator to view mobile webpages on a PC. On February 12, 2008, Mobi launched a low cost device database to help web developers build sites able to dynamically adapt presentation of a web site for the specific device that is being used by the user. Called DeviceAtlas, it can be accessed via a web GUI (for browsing and editing device attribute) or via an API (written in .NET, PHP, and Perl) to perform device detection and return device attributes such as screen dimension for subsequent content adaptation. The web GUI is free while an annual fee is charged for the API (Mobi claims that they are charging for the API on a break-even basis). Data for the DeviceAtlas database comes from several sources including handset manufacturers, operator handset testing teams, content trans-coding companies, mobile testing companies, public domain databases, and the public via the web GUI. Data from multiple sources are merged together but the source is always maintained. Conflicts in data from multiple sources are highlighted such that owners of the data are able to spot potential errors and provide corrections. The DeviceAtlas community approach was designed to provide all web site owners with access to low cost device data while at the same time provide a quality assurance platform for those that provide mobile phone design and test data. DeviceAtlas attributes were based upon the output of the W3C Mobile Web Initiative Device Descriptions Working Group. The .mobi organization does not itself mandate any particular technology, but does require that .mobi sites produce user experiences consistent with their guidelines and specifically optimized for mobile phones.
