Most Websites Not Optimized For New Mobile Devices

Excerpt from Webhostdirectory.com:

Most mobile users who access the Internet are still in the dark ages in terms of the content they view and access speed. That is the word from the .mobi experts at MyDomain, one of the leading web site hosting companies and one of the first .mobi accredited website developers. Studies show that there are four times as many mobile devices as PCs in use, and more mobile users are accessing the Internet via these devices everyday with 1.3 billion expected worldwide by 2008. The bad news is the Internet experience of mobile users is still way behind that of PC users. The good news is that .mobi and companies like MyDomain are working to change all that.

.mobi
is the the first – and only – top level domain dedicated to delivering the internet to the mobile phone. It was developed by a consortium of 14 of the world's most prominent mobile and Internet companies who have been working together to create a standard for website development that delivers the best mobile Internet experience via content designed specifically to be browsed and viewed on mobile devices. .mobi will revolutionize and broaden the possibilities for mobile internet access for users, service providers, content providers and mobile manufacturers.
