Alert: Recently we have been receiving calls from Australian telephone subscribers regarding unwarranted charges on their phone bill from an entity called "Mobilicious". These spammers have nothing to do with Mobi-licious.
NOTE: Your telephone company shouldn't be authorizing external charges to your phone bill without your consent. Make a stand, they are contributing to spam. Marketing & gimmicks should be "opt-in"...NOT... "opt-out"!

Why be Mobile Ready?
dotMobi is specifically for mobile devices such as mobile phones, PDA's and other handheld mobile devices capable of accessing the internet. Already dotMobi has made headlines with several 6-figure domain sales occurring.
- Presentation: Most Web pages are laid out for presentation on desktop-size displays, but because of the limited screen size of mobile devices, the website may require considerable scrolling to be read, and users may get irritated at the mobile costs incurred while trying to ascertain if they are accessing the right content.
- Input: Mobile devices often have a very small & limited keypad, and long web addresses are difficult to type correctly and forms can be hard to fill in. It can be difficult to recover from errors, broken links, and so on.
- Bandwidth and Cost: Mobile networks can be slow compared to Cable/ADSL/Wireless or similar networks, and often have a measurably slower stream, which can cause webpage items to load slow. Browsing experiences can be unsatisfactory if Web pages contain content that the user has not specifically requested. This extra paraphenalia contributes to substandard usability and can add considerably to the cost of retrieval.
- User Goals: Most mobile users have more immediate and specific objectives than desktop Web users. They want to locate specific information relevant to their context, and typically aren't interested in long documents or surfing the web.
- Advertising: Components used for some advertising material (such as pop-ups, pop-unders, and large banners) wont work well on small devices. If you intend using advertising, it should be as compact and effective as possible.
- Device Limitations: Web page rendering — such as tables, long and complex style sheets, invalid markup, etc — can stress the CPU. Therefore, page rendering will probably take noticeable time to complete. Some devices possess limited memory for pages and images, and exceding these limitations will result in disrupted display & other problems.
