.MOBI is the (mobile) domain extension released in 2006 and specifically designed to show internet content on mobile phones. There are an estimated 2 billion mobile phones in use around the globe. Most of these devices cannot display a typical website whose content and layout are too complex to be viewed on a mobile phone’s display.

Because ”mobile websites” need to be compatible on a wide variety of phones, the dotMobi corporation introduced guidelines for mobile website development to help insure a good user experience. Since .MOBI’s release, Apple’s iPhone hit the market and contained the ability to display full websites by letting users scroll in any direction to view portions of a complete webpage.

However, .MOBI websites remain important, and useful, since they are easy to navigate on a majority of mobile devices. Not to mention the fact that a high percentage of mobile phone users around the world do not own an iPhone. Most importantly, .MOBI has received considerable support from major Fortune 500 companies … many of which have already launched their company’s official .MOBI site.

One nice example of a scaled down, yet fully functional site, is MiamiLimos.mobi (a geo-targeted mobile domain name). There aren’t many bells & whistles, but that is the real utility of the MiamiLimos.mobi site. It provides essential information on renting a Miami-area limo detailing the types of vehicles available (SUV’s, Hummers, Stretch Limos, and the Lincoln Town Car).

Mobile surfers of MiamiLimos.mobi will find pricing, contact information, and transportation coverage areas which include airports, cruise ports, and all cities in South Florida.

You can submit your limousine request via phone call, or by submitting an easy-to-use request form completed right on your mobile phone. Home James!
