Updating Mobile Re-Direct Code
All Thoughts Media Web sites have code (written by Fabrizio of course!) that detects the incoming Web browser request and serves up either a desktop version of the site, or a mobile version, depending on the client requesting the page. Every so often we update the code to make sure we're addressing as many clients as possible. So here's what I'd like you do to: with your mobile device, visit the site you're reading this on. If you get re-directed to the mobile version, things are workings as they should. ;-) If you're using a Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC or Smartphone, you should be seeing the mobile site. If you're not, odds are you've done a registry hack to change the user agent
For users of other mobile devices, if you don't get re-directed to the mobile site, please go to this URL:
www.pocketpcthoughts.com/tools/ua.php
Record the user agent string it reports, then post it as a comment in this thread so we can add it to our code. Thanks for your help in improving our system!

Minimo is not redirected...
User agent string for minimo v0.1:
Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv5tel; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040218
I don't really mind because the browser is very fast and displays the frontpage without having to scroll sideways.

Guys, there is already a system that does this, and much more and it is called ASP.NET. No sense in re-writing the wheel when you can leverage all this fully devleoped and tested code. PHP sucks anyway, php is a poor man's scripting language and any database admin worth a crap knows that MySQL is a joke of a database. It is like a little kid's version of a database. Anyway, just wanted to let you know. Step out of the 90's and get running with a real platform : ASP.NET.
