Uh-oh. Does this mean .mobi might not be a useless extention after all?

MobileDesigner..

Checkout this link. It has info on WURFL as well as sample codes....

if it only takes one line of code added to a site ...

why do all the big names use a promoted alternate address route, why not just say hit us up from your mobile and have 'this code' redirect?

wouldn't simply using the .mobi extension make it so much easier for the average mobile surfer?

Yes it would, but good luck trying to convince the average .mobi hater of that.

By the way, I followed the directions from the WURFL article at dev.mobi. I changed a few things so that the site would validate, and so far, so good...
