This is also an interesting quote from http://www.silicon.com/retailandleisure/0,3800011842,39168917,00.htm




Andrew Bagguley, head of mobile strategy at News Group Newspapers, which publishes The Sun, said: "Although we have mobile distribution deals with Sky, O2 and Vodafone, our direct to consumer [over mobile] play has been understated so far. Taking the dot-mobi domain is in keeping with making the site simple and easily accessible in the way our readers find it."
Bagguley told silicon.com The Sun's sister paper The News Of The World is due to get the same treatment in the next couple of months.
Sun readers can now access the site on their phones by typing 'thesun.mobi'.

Pred, do you accept corn as payment for names? I'm just asking as it cost me about £30 to take the kids through a Maize Maze - and I reckon they ****in' owe me....it was ****!

So, while it's dark I could slip back there are grab a load - want to pm me a list of names :biggrin:
