[OpenLayers-Users] Automatically detecting and deploying mobile OL

[Mike Leahy]

Hello Puneet,

I can't speak to the best version of OpenLayers to use for Mobile.  But I have 
made use of the mobile browser detection algorigthm available as open source 
in multiple languages at http://detectmobilebrowser.com.

You can use that either server-side, or client-side.  The approach I have 
taken is to detect it server-side in PHP and direct users to a different page 
that is dedicated to presenting mobile interface.  I haven't yet brought in 
OpenLayers mobile into that context, but I think when I do I'll use the dev 
version (or maybe the next release if it is out in the relatively near 
future).

Best regards,
Mike
