I always thought that Google Sitelinks were sort of useless, but now I get it. If the iPhone is how we are going to experience mobile search for the near future, Google Sitelinks can be really helpful. For example, today I was looking for a phone number of a company I was going to see and searched for them on Google on the iPhone. The result came up but I thought the number they displayed was wrong. The “contact us” sitelink was also displayed on the small screen so I immediately clicked on that. Unfortunately the page I was sent to had a huge flash file on it or something and wouldn’t load, but the point was that the sitelinks are really helpful on the small mobile screen whereas on a bigger screen with faster downloads you can ignore them and click on the main url to find what you are looking for.
I guess what I am saying is that make sure you have a very simple site architecture and a “Contact Us” page so they will show up in mobile search results if Google ever deigns to give you sitelinks.
