Hello,

You are right about to have a default mobile site. 
So you imagine we could associate two themes for a blog ? One classical and
one mobile ? 

Nice idea !

Individual entry page,Search Page etc.That is bit confusing for template
designer.Because to differentiate them(to identfiy while rendering web
template from mobile template we may have to have some meta data in the
Roller and then render accordingly.

We will be having a one default mobile theme and will set it configurable at
the weblog creation time.We definitely need a velocity context object That
will be helpful in tracking the user preference (to switch back to desktop
theme etc.) Additionally mobile theme will be having an entry in theme.xml
to mark it as a mobile theme as well.

Thank you very much for the valuable feedback :)
