This is february 2007. Costs will decrease and capacity increase. You have your mobile phone in your pocket from which you can
- Read and send eposts directly.
- Surf simple pages.
- Use web applications made for mobile devices.
There will always be small screens. It is about efficiency, entertainment, staying informed etc.
Example: You are on a holiday in a remote place (e. g. Canadian Wilderness) with only wireless connection to the internet.
You get an important sound message on your mobile phone and you can respond at once.
This is for VIP persons in VIP companies (and young people of course).
There is a large market, not at least in Asia, where wireless communication increases most. So, also implement Babel fish translation on your site like I have done on OopSchool (se link in my sig), that is far from perfect, but good enough to understand the main message. It will be better in the future.
I can not see that this domain:

is taken. What about
http://www.allr8.com/ Everything correct, browsing along the right edge etc :-)
Redirects to the following Italian site:
