Isn't the concept that safari on the iPhone is designed to render pages as a full blown browser and mobile pages aren't necessarily needed/desired?

This changes the skin handling for mobile agents, it sets the template and skin to the name of the user agent.

This is a more extensive modification of the file, it adds the background for the getMobileUserAgent function

Removes requirement on the frontend remote to only use the default template, is there a reason for this?

Although it is true that the iPhone is capable of displaying regular, non-optimised web pages, it is not true that they are the best solution in all cases. The current MythWeb, for example, is not very usable in its current form on the iPhone mostly because it assumes a) a large viewing area, b) it uses relatively small font sizes and c) the links and buttons are difficult to hit on the iphone (partiularly when the the screen is zoomed out). This interface could be dramatically improved by optimizing the interface for the iPhone.

I would recommend using iUi for the UI elements as it seems straightforward, is open-source, and uses the BSD license - which I think should be compatible with MythTV's requirements. I was about to take this on myself before finding this entry in Trak.

Care to update the patches to head? We removed the WML skins, so no need to support that anymore.
Also we have the remove locked to the default template because there's no lite template written for it.

Aye you still interested with this given -trunk's current ipod/iphone template and skin?

Any change you could add "Android" also? (I know this should be another feature request, but it's has all of the same specs). Here is the required addition to the $mobiles array:
'Android' => array('width' => 320, 'height' => 480)
Thanks

I would like the android support too - but as an aside... Android doesn't specify a screen size does it? the G1 is 320 x 480 - but other android phones certainly wont be.

wesw02, you do realize that adding that forces mythweb to go to WAP mode for the device? I thought the Android had a full browser?

I'm guessing it is a similiar reasoning to the question asked in comment 2 and answered in comment 6 on this ticket.

Perhaps this would be better left out. I suppose if the user perfers WAP they can change it for them selves.
(Yes, the android does have a full browser)
