just fyi - there are two types of mobile sites
theres one thats for business and theres one that displays information thats easy to access on a mobile device
for example a business mobile site you would expect to have easy navigation that links you to essential information about the business and have features like click to call which is a button that initiates a call to the business, perhaps click for directions which would initiate google maps/navigation on a smart phone, click to sms/email which initiates the appropriate service again on a smartphone. Other things would be opening hours, daily specials, events, etc and of course mobile commerce or mCommerce but thats a different ball game - the business mobile site model is something that you can sell as a service and generate an income like that.
the other type of mobile site would be the kind that you would be pushing traffic to it so that you generate an income from it via mobile ads or mobile CPA offers - these type of sites don't typically require such features as click to call, click to email and all the above features i previously mentioned.
so going back to wordpress plugins the reason i dont particularly like any of the mobile plugins for wordpress is because they dont easily handle mobile sites geared towards business - they are perfect for the blog/article type of site where you want to install say admob or adsense for google. typically they just output a list of blog/article posts and dont offer out of the box any of the features that i mentioned previously about business.
if i have to choose one plugin it would be have to be WPtouch - but only if i was not doing a mobile business site
You can easily get $250+ for each sale of business mobile website - right now is a perfect opportunity to become the go to guy in your area since your competition is going to be low.
Another cool thing about getting involved in mobile marketing right now is it has such a broad landscape you can easily up sell more services to earn more cash!
think about qr codes, sms long and short codess, web apps, mobile apps the list goes on
to give you an idea of my background i have been developing for mobile devices since way before the dot mobi domains where around, since before the iphone was a twinkle in steve jobs eye - am talking going back to the days of wap sites and wml.
i actually thought when the .mobi domain came out it was the silver lining i had been waiting for however - investors where not ready for mobile over here in the US and i ended up putting some of my project on hold till i decided the market is actually ready for mobile... which was sometime last year in my opinion.
so at the turn of this year i quit doing everything else ie SEO, web development, google maps etc to concentrate on mobile and mobile marketing only - so if you have any questions etc i will only be to happy to answer!
hope that helps
cheers
