Yup... first, don't do it based on user agent. Guaranteed you won't
think of one, or the specs will change, or something will go belly up
on you. Do it on capability. If it's a small screen, do x, otherwise,
do y, whatever the UA is.
What really matters to you is the size of the thing, right?
So, on the simplest level, you use a snippet of JS to get the clients
browser window size (not resolution), and feed additional/alternate
CSS for it. See http://www.themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2006/01/19/
Getting more sophisticated, you could have the JS make the check and
either set a cookie or append some querystring (?small=true, maybe) to
each url, which you could then pick up in your view, if you needed
COMPLETELY different content.
But that sounds messy to me, and just making a smart small-screen CSS
is pretty trivial.
The same trick is also very helpful for taking small-to-mid-size fixed-
width layouts and resizing them for very large windows.
