.mobi — a top level domain dedicated to mobile devices.

Dotmobi is the first top level domain dedicated to mobile devices, backed by industry heavy-weights such as Ericsson, Samsung, T-Mobile, Vodafone, GSM Association, Google & Microsoft. DotMobi will invigorate the Internet and redefine ‘made-for-mobile’ services.

Devices and the networks that support have come on recently, but it still seems like the mobile Web is the Cinderella to Broadband's Internet. But consider this, mobile phones already outsell personal computers by four-to-one. With rise of Wi-Fi gaming devices like the Sony PSP or the Nintendo DS, it means there are a lot of people waiting to surf without their computer.

*When will .mobi be available?

dotMobi domains are being released to the general public for any individual or organisation** to register from 26th September @ 15:00 BST. The first two weeks, known as Landrush, will incur a premium charge imposed by the dotMobi registrar.
