How to pronounce 'mobile'
Hi there.
How to pronounce the word mobile?
Dictionaries say that the letter i in this word is like in the word ice. But I've seen a video (that was an ad) where a man was pronouncing the i letter like in the word pill.
So which right? Or both of them? Or is it AmE variant and BrE variant?

I presume that you are concerned only with the adjective. Both are used, but even more speakers use the schwa sound (as in lab el , sadd le ), I think. I don't know if it's a trans-Pond thing.
