.mobi domain

I registered a .mobi domain a few years ago because the name I wanted was available & thought I'd grab it for the future. The renewal is coming up and was wondering if I should renew or let it expire. Is anyone using the mobi domain and what about it's future as a domain. Was also wondering about iWeb optimized at some point to accommodate mobi sites. Any input would be appreciated.

A major update of iWeb is being released very shortly and I think there is no indication so far of anything like that.

Have my copy pre-ordered and I know that's not included. Was mainly interested in the mobi extension itself, relating to current usage. Thanks again for the reply.

For the iWeb optimization part of my question, I guess if you have a site that has a pixel width of 980, Safari Mobile will resize for the mobile Web automatically. Don't know if that applies to other "smart phones".

So is there any input what so ever as to a .mobi address. Seems like if mobile browsers like iPhones Safari will resize sites automatically, there's not a need for a mobi address now or in the future.
