# iPhone Whois

If you’re anything like me, you come up with domain ideas in the most random—and often unwired—places. I mean like the grocery store. What were *you* thinking about?

Never mind that now. We have important matters to discuss.

Matt King has just released a [Whois application for the Apple iPhone](http://www.mattking.org/2007-08/whois-on-your-iphone.html "Whois on the iPhone"). So now, no matter where you are—as long as that “where” has Edge or wifi access—you can check that domain name and see if it’s available.

To try it out, head over to [whois.onmyiphone.net](http://whois.onmyiphone.net/ "iPhone Whois").

Of course, then you have to go try to register it on the very non-iPhone-ish registry sites. Baby steps.
