This seems like an ultimately doomed strategy - the 480px limit you're
using is exactly met by the iPhone, the G1 and the Pre (in landscape),
and exceeded by the Kindle. Then there's the much-rumored "iPhone
tablet", which will completely exceed that if it ever appears.
It would seem more logical to either just show the pages to everybody,
or to detect user agents as others in the thread have suggested.
