this article http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/12/android-browser-user-agent-issues.html is horseshit.

because there are websites that query mobile and provide tiny versions instead of using the resolution of the device, the author asserts that mobile = tiny and therefor for large screens "Mobile" should be dropped.

if websites want to provide proper functioning sites for android they now need to fix this using the android bit of the string. therefor they have to touch their code anyway to provide proper functionality and not a mess that can't be used with a touch based interface.

so these sites need to fix their behaviour except if they don't provide different versions but then dropping mobile gains nothing.

so he advocates that the agent should be changed so sites brake and the site owner has two choices: fix behaviour or screw their customers.

wonder how his stance on the broken itunes/chrome bug would be (bug is that itunes would not open using chromes agent, instead download page is shown. chrome devs say WONTFIX, go complain to apple).
