From a post by L. Hardy on 15/06/2004

 This is fairly typical of small-screen devices. Since most web developers don't use CSS 
properly yet, and many of those who do don't create "handheld" CSS, browser developers 
for small-screen devices have had to work out hacks to attempt to make the site conform to their 
requirements

That's probably not clarifying matters, but I've only had one coffee today so I won't 
be firing on all cylinders yet...

Anyway, read this :

It taught me everything I ever needed to know about small-screen dev

Cheers,

It seems browser incompatibility is as significant in handhelds as it is in PC's.

I recently had the privilege of viewing a few of my sites on IE on a Pocket PC 2003 environment. Man does it suck!

It renders the screen media stylesheet, and doesn't support the handheld media. Does anyone know how to fix this, apart from perhaps using a dirty browser sniffer?
