 Dublin, Ireland July 23, 2007 - The official worldwide registry for the
.mobi domain, dotMobi's Site Builder, powered by mobiSiteGalore, has
provided the web development community with resources designed to
foster the growth of high-quality content for those who utilize mobile
phones to access the Internet.
dotMobi, the official worldwide registry for the .mobi domain, has introduced
http://dev.mobi, an extensive site featuring how-to guides, tools and interactive
forums to simplify the creation of mobile content. The resources ensure all mobile
content will be of the highest quality, including content on the more than 375,000
.mobi domains already registered.
dev.mobi is designed to encourage interaction among members of the Web development
community, allowing them to engage in an ongoing dialogue aimed at building a
quality mobile Internet experience. On dev.mobi, developers can participate in
mobile development training and forums, read articles by industry experts and
find up-to-the-minute mobile industry news. The site also features the dotMobi
Developer Guide and tools that can be downloaded to create useful content based
on the open standards developed by dotMobi and the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C).
Neil Edwards, CEO, dotMobi remarked, ''The success of the mobile Internet hinges
on the creation of quality, user-friendly content. dev.mobi provides developers
with the keys needed to unlock the potential of the mobile Internet. It is dotMobi's
responsibility to educate and provide tools for developers whose content will
drive the growth of the mobile Internet.'' James Pearce, dotMobi's newly introduced
vice president of technology, added, ''The launch of these tools ensures that
all developers -- regardless of size -- have the ability to get their content
directly to end users.''
A key resource available at dev.mobi is the dotMobi Developer Guide -- a practical
tool for web developers to use in the day-to-day creation of mobile content. The
guide outlines mobile Internet standards developed by dotMobi in conjunction with
W3C. dotMobi will continuously update, expand and improve the Developer Guide,
providing a living tool that will grow with the evolution of mobile content development.
Jorgen Odgaard, head of the Ericsson Mobility World Developer Program commented,
'The dotMobi set of tools for mobile content creation is a key component in securing
a user friendly Internet experience using mobile phones. We will incorporate the
dev.mobi offering within our Ericsson Mobility World Developer Program offering
as a further vehicle to bring enriched services to mobile users.''
Reinhard Kreft, Head of Industry Initiatives and Standardisation, Vodafone offered,
''We are pleased about the introduction of dev.mobi. This developer site is filling
a gap and meeting a clear need. It's giving developers clear guidance and support
in producing mobile content in a way which enables a great user experience on
mobile devices. We also expect that technical guides and tools further evolve
and keep pace with the fast progressing and diverse technologies in this field.
This is delivering significant benefits and ultimately contributes to a good customer
experience. The new developer site is thus most welcomed and complements our own
mobile Internet strategy.''
ready.mobi, a site-compliance testing tool, can also be accessed via the dev.mobi
site. The ready.mobi tool performs more than 30 separate tests on any individual
.mobi site to help site owners and developers determine how well their site will
work on a mobile phone. ready.mobi provides an overall score indicating the mobile
readiness of a site, as well as advice for addressing problems discovered during
the testing process.

and Internet content providers, including Ericsson, GSM Association, Hutchison
3, Microsoft, Nokia, Orascom Telecom, Samsung Electronics, Syniverse, T-Mobile,
Telefonica Moviles, TIM and Vodafone. dotMobi is also a sponsor of W3C's Mobile
