[support] Best practices for mobile sites in Drupal

[Albert Cuesta]

Hi everyone

After a bit of research, I have concluded that there are two main
approaches to creating mobile-enabled versions of existing Drupal
sites:

* Using the mobile theme <http://drupal.org/project/mobile> and
setting up some theme switcher / URL alias to redirect requests to
'clean' pages
* Using the .mobi loader module
<http://drupal.org/project/mobi_loader> + .mobi theme
<http://drupal.org/project/mobi> combo, so all requests for the
site.mobi domain are intercepted and get the 'clean' theme. However, I
have found it quite buggy, so many requests for the mobile site are
still getting the default theme, as reported here
<http://drupal.org/node/163541>

Besides, none of these two themes pass the compatibility tests at
http://mtld.mobi

How are you managing the mobile versions of your sites? Has anyone
combined the above two approaches?

Thanks in advance for any comments and suggestions.
