The mobile website, which is best viewed with a Smartphone, is http://travelonthego.mobi The first question we asked was should we build mobile apps or mobile websites. That was really a no-brainer, because apps have no place replacing websites. The Second Question was should we go with the crunch approach, rendering regular websites into tiny version of the same for mobile devices. Thirdly we wondered should we use .mobi or .com. The .com is most popular, but the Dotmobi has some special appeal. This last question is extensively documents in our hub page http://hubpages.com/hub/travel-on-the-go We chose DotMobi and it has been the right decision on a number of counts. Most notably is that .Mobi is a special directory within ICANN and thousands of Search Engines and Mobile Directories use the ICANN information on new dotmobi sites. We spent months planning our entry into the Smartphone market and our steps along the way are documents with Hub articles and our own website. http://SmartphoneTraveller.com SmartphoneTraveller is a great name but our research and trials indicated it was not the best name for our particular objectives in publishing travel brands to mobile phones.
