Default Re: This weeks DNJ - more mobi mania

It makes no sense, though. Why have a separate extension for mobile when everyone uses browser detection and redirects. That's what we've always done (IE vs Netscape for you oldtimers).

The browser is different. No big deal. We have ways of dealing with that. Why a new extension?

Why not .ff for Firefox, .ie for Internet Explorer, or even .lcd for LCD monitors versus .crt? Because extensions have nothing to do with the OS, browser, monitor, or PC manufacturer. That is the point of port 80. It is platform independent. No .sun, .mac, or .pc. Just dot com, net, org, and the rest by organization type.

Am I missing something? It seems so stupid.
