Public Sticky notes

To serve your mobile users, your Rails application needs to manage the following:

  • Detecting when a user accesses the site using an iPhone or an iPod touch.
  • Allowing the user to freely switch between the mobile and regular versions of the site.
  • Using a different layout for Mobile Safari users, including separate Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) files and, possibly, JavaScript libraries.
  • Serving different content to mobile users.
