Hi
I was going through the PEAR repository at pear.php.net today, building a new webserver with PHP 5, can came across Net_UserAgent_Mobile
It's in the dirty browser sniffer basket but given the media attribute is so broken in handhelds it may be worth a try.
It's funny that the corporations who make this things can propose a whole new tld called .mob instead of supporting the handheld attribute.
Imagine the cost difference!
Still, it'd be cool to get mafia.mob or marriedtothe.mob
Back on track, if you run PHP just do a
pear install Net_UserAgent_Mobile
at a shell/prompt and then pass the right info as per the documentation. It looks like it'll give you screen width, colour depth etc etc.

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?
