dotMobi to Launch Special Premium Name Auction SeriesHighly desired domain names, including ask.mobi, atm.mobi, cars.mobi, love.mobi and moto.mobi to be made available. September 14, 2007; 12:50 AM Beginning
Wednesday, September 26 – the first anniversary of .mobi's general

dotMobi Premium Names list is a set of more

specifically designed for people wanting to reach a mobile audience.
