The main difference in my approach, is that once i detect the iphone, I want to display an iPhone optimised functionality set as opposed to my regular site, now just laid out for iPhone.    So my strategy is   1, detect iphone, if it's an iphone offer a redirect to the iPhone web app.  2 Figure out what my core "mobile" functionality is and expose that via a component that you can only get to if you're on an iphone. I'll apply the iphone template to that page.  3 Lastly that page will eb direct linked in by a subdomain so in mycase iphone.clubenetwork.com    I've done a bit of groundwork on it over the last few months and don't anticipate too many problems.     famous last words ?  Robbie Report

If you use the php user agent detection, you can detect the iPhone BEFORE the Joomla template is loaded and then decide which template to load (or what I've been doing is decide which part of the template to load). See this link:    iPhone detection    This is just to redirect to my iPhone site, but you could use whatever inside the detection. Or, you could setup certain pages in your Joomla site that USE an iPhone template, and then just have this redirect to that page. Report
