New Google Initiative? Googlebot-Mobile/2.1

Googlebot-Mobile for Handphones

[Porter5Forces]

These days I saw Googlebot-Mobile crawling my rss feeds. Anyone know where can we look for more information about this new bot?

I think that is a proxy server when a user clicks on a Google result using a handheld?

This is definitely not a search result. I've found some information on my own and this is infact another googlebot targeted at the mobile device segment users.

There's also some mention in the Google webmaster info -- under the "Remove Transcoded Pages" section:

I have been getting tons of hits, 27k+, to a new site from Googlebot-Mobile/2.1 (Nokia6820/2.0 (4.83) Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/C
LDC-1.0 (compatible; Googlebot-Mobile/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)).

Why, though, I have no idea. I have no mobile content on my site.

Does anyone know if this spider goes into a completely seperate index or, and I would be loving this, does this spidered content get shared to the main index as well?

Anyone know?
