Sigh.

Hopefully by "late summer next year", web developers will gain some clue and learn how to develop sites that work with the same source content for mobile AND desktop clients, without using any UserAgent detection... this is all possible today, with current technologies.

Most developers take the lazy way out however, and just duplicate their work in multiple places instead of spending the time up-front to do it right. Ah well, they'll come around... eventually.

I wonder why they didn't just use a .wap TLD there instead of .mobi, and if you're going to use 4 letter TLDs, why not just go all the way, use .mobile.
