Pre or post construction, speculative or not .mobi is technically no different than .com so when people type anything, and we know there will be mobile phone typo's, right. Based on human nature and habit won't most people still type .com. .Com represents the web in a way they will never be replaced, almost as if .Com itself it the web and it took over ten years to get to the top of that hill. There is no one millions of people forget .Com simply because .mobi came out. Maybe millions of dollars and many years later but what if .tel comes out? The confusion could continue. What if all the .com's start to optimize and auto-recognize the traffic, when you sigh on with a phone your redirect to a smaller mobile version. Isn't that easier for all companies? |
The main issue is Dot Com sites aren't required to resolve on a mobile device and not all Dot com owners will do this leaving the mobile user with a hit and miss scenario. With Mobi you know it is designed to resolve on a mobile device and that the information, functions, and features will be optimized to the needs of their mobile search. The mobile internet is in it's infancy and many features and options coming down the pipe will make it clearer as to why there is a need to format and develop with a TLD that says "mobile content here". My 2 cents....
