Source: dotmobi

dotMobi, the company behind the .mobi domain – the first and only Internet address designed specifically for mobile phones – today announced its evaluation of the mobile readiness of the 100 most visited sites on the Internet.

Using a list generated by Alexa® Internet on January 23, 2007, dotMobi evaluated the the most visited sites using http://ready.mobi, a unique testing tool produced by dotMobi that incorporates industry standards set by the W3C consortium and key investors including Ericsson, Microsoft and Nokia.

The tool at http://ready.mobi simulates a mobile device and accessed each of the top 100’s PC-based web page and its .mobi (or other mobile) address, if applicable. The report follows a stringent assessment, and scores each site from one (least mobile ready) to five (most mobile ready).

According to this scale, the top 10 mobile ready sites are Google.com, WashingtonPost.com, Ask.com, Yahoo.com Flickr.com, Live.com, Facebook.com, Overstock.com, Weather.com and USA Today.com. Only three of the top 10 most popular Web sites – Yahoo, Google and Facebook – scored greater than a three out of five on the Mobile Ready Report.
