A directory of online mobile content is to be launched this year by dotMobi, the organisation behind the new mobile-specific dot-mobi domain name.

Part of dotMobi's efforts to drive mobile content, the directory will allow users to search for and use mobile content from across the web - including dot-com and WAP sites as well as dot-mobi sites.

The directory will hold information about mobile content such as domain name, owner (including address and contact details) as well as technical information such as file type and size. The content will also be rated on how suitable it is for download to a mobile device.

In addition, dotMobi will offer several subscription services in conjunction with the directory, including a monthly update service to reveal mobile trends and allow organisations to see where mobile content is having the greatest impact.

Cheat Sheets

♦ Mobile location-based services
♦ FMC
♦ 3G

The directory will also allow mobile application providers to 'rent' information for use when developing their applications. For example, an application developer could search for all estate agents with a mobile online presence and then use those results in its product.

dotMobi CEO Neil Edwards said the directory will contain a depth and breadth of data of "very high quality".

The service will be available during the second half of 2007. Subscription costs have not yet been announced.
