I'm starting to play around with some new development on an intranet web
site.  Since we are a university and since most students have cell
phones, I want to add a mobile option to our site.

What are your comments on supporting mobile?

* Code only for desktop browsers and let the mobile proxies worry about
cleaning up the html?  This would not be the most-efficient for the
proxies.

* Code using style sheets and specifying media types and let the browser
choose what to display?  This would still require downloading all of the
page even if not visible to the mobile browser, unless the proxy strips
it out.

* Sniff the browser and dynamically change the content.  This is better
for bandwidth to proxies and handhelds, but requires coding specific for
desktop or handheld.

Does anyone have any experience?  Do you really care about handheld
support yet?
