Recently, while away from home, I needed to find the nearest location of their restaurant so I used my PDA to go online to their website. This was easy enough to do and sure enough, on the site was an option to use the 'Find the nearest Mc D's'. The problem is that the site relies on the use of Flash and Frames which mobile web browsing devices do not support. With Mc D's being such a large corporation you would think they would be ahead of the pack in this field but as yet that is not the case. I designed a site for Sly Filters (Europe) Ltd (http://slyfilters.com) which complies with all of the current .mobi requirements. This can be viewed at slyfilters.mobi The thing is, if a company that manufactures industrial air filtration systems can utilize the .mobi technology the service its clients needs than surely a global company, such as McDonalds can also accommodate this in to their business model.

The internet connection is not that fast and will charge you for more than you use. Not to mention the screen you are looking at to is so small you can't surf around freely. The cell sites are just making a lot of money from these. Even games they label as free aren't really free!

They can also lose them . Retailers will now face shoppers able to do price comparisons on their phones and check up on products. Recall status and standards info for toys can already be checked at http://saftoy.mobi , and no doubt soon product warranty information will be available on phones.

Interesting it mentions Vancouver, Washington because RISKebiz.com out of Vancouver, Canada develops and has been developing mobile websites for years and are very good at it. They implement PPC mobile advertising, social network features, custom mobile apps and regular static mobile pages. I think more should be discussed on mobile optimization and how big a role this will play going forward. Also on the subject of mobile web site builders, Mobizcard.com is an application that creates quick mobile web sites for free. Very interesting article.
