I don't like it because it came out about 6-8 years too late.

Around that time (1998-2000) cel phones were starting to have web capabilities but it was slow, 14.4K and all text. .mobi would have been great especially if cell phone manufacturers made it the default extension.

In 2005, when .mobi launched, many smart phones and phones already had fully capable browsers allowing the phone user to see the internet as they would on a home computer so there was no need for a specific TLD for mobile devices.

If it was launched in 1997, 1998 or 1999 then it could have been a huge success.
