Maybe not?

My big “plan” was to take content already stored in the database and present using a different template for mobile when a client visits using that platform. I suppose I was going to detect the browser and present automatically.

Is that not enough? I know to not use plug-in specific content presentation (like flash). I guess videos when required might present a problem using this approach, but if we can keep content presentation to xhtml/css/ etcetera is there really a huge problem with this approach?

Besides, maintaining two sets of data would be problematic at best I would think.

Anyways, just some thoughts…
