You probably are not misunderstanding the spec (a guess - I'm not running around in your head), but none of the mentioned browsers nor iOS Mobile Safari (and I think) mobileIE support the 'handheld' media type. The original reasoning when Apple first released MobileSafari: it supports the full web, no need to create special mobile pages - media queries can help optimise your layout, though. > Just out of curiosity, I also tested in the text-mode browsers Elinks, > links, links2, and lynx.
