dotMobi now takes orders on .mobi domains
As this announcement points out, dotMobi is not just about selling domains, but also to provide guidelines for how services on .mobi domains should be designed to work well on mobile devices. Many of those guidelines are not mandatory though, so the mileage may vary in terms of site compatibility.
Interesting, at least to a European, is that we are not talking WAP here, but mobile-optimised HTML with stylesheets. That cuts out many deployed phones.
For sure dotMobi is not doing this for charity, and the main business is of course to sell .mobi domains, but hopefully they will keep up the guideline work and adapt as technologies and phones evolve.
