hiding things and bandwidth?:
AFAIK, there are but two choices:
1) A mobile version of the page/site, users get redirected there based on
client and you only load as needed for each client. This has a number of
issues: different user experiences, non-portable links, multiple sites to
test, etc. but is the easiest way to handle this issue.
2) Have the client determine what is needed and download as necessary.
That's "lazy loading", that's Javascript, and while a worthwhile topic and
a useful method used more and more lately, it's off-topic here. Solves
several of the issues with separate sites, but adds another language,
testing, and layer of complexity.

How about controlling the sending of the optional stuff via Server
Side Scripting? So long as the server can tell the difference between
a mobile and a non-mobile user the optional page contents can be sent
only to the non-mobile user.
