    .mobi domain?

    I'm trying to access say google on a smartphone or some sort of wireless device.

    What's the difference between google.com or google.mobi
    you'll get the same content I suppose. I was wondering if you guys can explain to me what's the difference.

    It's probably just organized and cut down more for smaller resolution screens. this is what you'd see on a phone/pda.
    It must be obvious day at camp stupid

    yeah but both the .com and the .mobi are gonna be scaled to smaller screen so what's the difference between the two?? why even have the .mobi domain?

    this is lame:

    off wiki:
    Starting May 22, 2006 industry members can register a .mobi domain name, June 12 for trademark holders, and Sept. 26 general registration.
    guess what the "industry members" gobbled up all the one word domain names... then the trademark holders got the lions share of the good domains left...

    found a few two word domains that are pretty hot though. stoked!
