Mobile Web Design

Developing web sites can be very fun, but one thing in particular can become very challenging.  Mobile browsers such as Safari on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad can support most content that a desktop browser will (the iPad especially does well with large pages) but many other mobile phones and devices, such as the Blackberry, have very limited browsers.  On a proper web site, each device should be detected uniquely and processed correctly, allowing the best design possible for that device.  I've begun my newest development in to this feature, and so far, I have automatic individual processing for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad (it detects and processes the iPad very uniquely), Palm OS devices, Google Android phones, Blackberry Phones, and several others.  This new feature processes the device you're using when you go to www.alanaktion.net, and displays the corresponding site for your device.  iPod touch, iPhone, and most other smaller mobile devices (not iPad) have access to the Alanaktion Media center, where music and video can be streamed on the devices.
