I just saw this on MAG's home page. Looks like a very strong effort to create development on a global level:
dotMobi to launch global mobile phone database for developer community
Date:
2007-07-11
ANDREA TRASATTI APPOINTED AS DIRECTOR OF DEVICE INITIATIVES
DUBLIN, Ireland and WASHINGTON, DC – July 11, 2007 – dotMobi, the company behind .mobi – the first and only Internet address designed specifically for mobile phones – today announced its plans to create a definitive database of mobile handset information from across the world.
The dotMobi mobile device database, scheduled to launch in late 2007, will make developing mobile applications significantly easier and less expensive. While developers of PC-based content need to address differences between a small number of browsers like Windows Internet Explorer or Apple Safari, mobile content developers must accommodate the differences among thousands of phones with different display types and browsers.
The database will provide structured data, accurate to a degree not found in existing public resources. Information will be obtained from – as well as shared with – the global development community and published online. This will simplify the development process and enable developers to create the very best experience for users, based on comprehensive and reliable intelligence.
