.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!

The domain name, Miami.us, is currently available to the highest bidder at Sedo’s online auction. Miami is a hotspot, metropolitan destination with tons of big city cachet. At the moment, the reserve price of $15,000 has been met … and only 4 days left to go in the auction.

One thing is for certain, there are many wealthy residents, investors and Miami-area businesses that probably don’t even know Miami.us is on the auction block. The Miami Herald operate the corresponding .com site so one might assume they would have an interest in the outcome. Might some new online media network jump at the chance to give Miami’s millions another choice for online travel, news, entertainment, business, and social networking? We’ll see!

Speaking of Miami.us business uses, one could easily see the local real estate community gobble up this domain and launch one outstanding Miami real estate portal. Being a .US geo domain owner myself, I know the value of the .US namespace to foreign visitors who often assume that anything.us is the official web address here in the United States.

Hats off to Mr. Bruce Murray, listed as the official registrant of Miami.us in the Neustar whois registry. These are interesting times for premium domain enthusiasts. Can someone please get this auction on the 6:00 o’clock evening news? Deep pockets deserve to know.

Quick Update: Mr. Murray reports a pending Sedo sale for his CapeCod.info. He is also the owner of Anaheim.us, a great city & home of every child’s vacation dream … Disneyland.

Geo domains seem to be gathering steam these days. Dubai.info was recently sold via Great Domains for $35,000.

Final Update: Miami.us was purchased for $15,000. The new registrant is Site Method Media, LLC based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. An incredible acquisition for them.
