I think that as our internet infrastructure is improved and access expands we will see a greater trend towards mobi sites. Particularly in the retail sector right now its social media but i expect a growth in the retail trend.
icbi.com if you need a domain at a good price.

The RAZR can thank its popularity for its similarity to the Star Trek communicator. Nine percent of the US population are trekkies? Sounds about right. The Motorola logo looking very much like the Star Fleet insignia doesn't hurt either... Top notch marketing Motorola, but what have you done for us lately?
