I am looking for info on methods for making a Rails site more handheld device (pda, phones) -friendly. So far I have found some discussions on this list that led me to the following links: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToProvideAlternateViewsForMobileDevices http://groups.google.ca/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/8bc68e46ea75c3f/af213cafa9e5f761?lnk=gst&q=mobile&rnum=26#af213cafa9e5f761 http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2005/07/make-your-site-mobile-friendly I have also done some reading on WAP and WML, but not sure if I want to make a separate WAP site. I want to provide essentially the same content and basic functionality to mobile users. This just means degrading CSS and AJAX. One approach I have tried is to add :mobile => true to every generated link and use a before_filter to check it. It had been mentioned elsewhere and is not difficult to auto-rewrite URLs. A slight variation is to check the sub-domain instead (e.g. match on mobile*). This is what I ended up using. I think it works well for pda and phones that support HTML in addition to WML. That still leavesWAP users out in the cold. I would be interested in hearing your opinions on the subject. Perhaps some of you could point your PDA/phone to my mobile site and let me know if there are any issues. I have tested with Opera 8 and Opera Mini 2.0. Thanks for listening...
