Seems to be a day for death-knells to be sounded.
Over on ClickZ, Rebecca Lieb just blogged about the death of Dot-Mobi (as she spells it). Will anyone notice?
I remain frustrated when I surf from my mobile by sites that insist on showing me a ‘mobile-friendly’ (for which, more often than not, read ‘hobbled’) site. Hands up BBC, amongst others. Actually Vodafone aren’t much better – they keep trying to ring fence me into a WAP environment which really doesn’t suit my semi-clever mobile phone.
Rebecca says it’s all over for .mobi because of the iPhone – I can’t disagree with that… other than to say those of us who’ve been using (love the phrase:) smartphones over the past couple of years have so moved past it.
To my earlier point this week, this is one of the main drivers behind what I think Web 3.0 is about: getting the proposition right for surfing in the open. Thanks to Steve Jobs for getting enough people using the web on the go to make this finally bubble up to the surface.
