dotMobi, the company behind the first and only Internet address designed specifically for mobile phones, announced that more than 500,000 mobi-domains have been registered in 104 countries since the domain’s commercial launch in October 2006.

The continual growth of mobi-domain registrations illustrates that content developers are focused on delivering quality sites and applications to mobile phones for consumers to use. Millions of pages of content are now live on sites with mobi-domains and many of the world’s leading brands have gone to mobi-domains over past few months.

A number of high-end auto brands – BMW.mobi, Ferrari.mobi and Rolls-Royce.mobi – are pioneering the way for the automobile industry on the mobile web. But “mobile” travel and automobile brands are only the start.

News and entertainment heavy hitters such as ESPN.mobi, Maxim.mobi, FoxNews.mobi, BusinessWeek.mobi and CNNMoney.mobi have gone mobile. And music celebrities like China’s Wei Wei with weiwei.mobi, India’s Vayu with vayu.mobi and Tila Tequila with misstila.mobi have embraced the mobile internet.

“The results demonstrate the strong role dotMobi is playing in driving the creation of mobile content on the Internet,” said Neil Edwards, CEO of dotMobi. “Most importantly, the mobile industry’s consumer focus around creating sites with mobi-domains is bearing strong results in a short period of time. Consumers finally have easy-to-use and affordable made-for-mobile content.”
