Hi, I'm working on a device running Windows CE 6.0 / IE6 (not Windows Mobile 6), and when accessing www.twitter.com, I'm redirected to m.twitter.com (because the User Agent says "Windows CE"). The problem is that IE6 doesn't handle the login page that is being sent by the server because it's marked as "application/xhtml+xml" which IE doesn't handle and just offers for download.
Is there a way to access the standard page? Or browse a fixed URL that wouldn't redirect to the mobile page? There must be a few devices like that with that same problem. Maybe the parsing of the User Agent could be made a bit more specific about what has to be identified as a mobile. Thanks in advance.
