.mobi Websites Now Available to Register

Jaruzel writes to mention a BBC article about the availability of .mobi addresses for registration. The new TLD is intended to give a home to websites specifically formatted for mobile devices. From the article: "MTLD is promising that websites with a registered dotmobi address will be optimized for mobile phones, guaranteeing users a consistent experience. It costs about $25 (£14) to register a dotmobi site for a minimum two-year period. Oliver said that while he agreed with the need to improve the mobile web experience, promises of a 'consistent experience' did not always equate with reality."

    From Hell's heart, I stab at thee, for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.

    (Yes, the other obvious use of dick.mobi also crossed my mind. Unfortunately.)
