I guess I'm voting to make this better supported, ie. a way to customise the way tml's are loaded under the control of the application, therefore not having to hack/subvert the existing locale support. It seems to me a few people have tried to do this and found it harder than maybe it should be...
I fully understand and appreciate all the comments about having separate apps though!

You should do a specific app/page for other devices.

If the user experience is going to be substantially altered, then you can "convert" from some meta-interface and have everything automatically expressed, but that often requires that the framework make trade-off choices that are better handled by a good User Experience designer. A lot of what makes a good iPhone- ready application is a different user-flow that's consistent with the device's unique properties. Shoe-horning a normal web-interface will often result in a bad iPhone experience (though better than WAP phones, to be sure). cheers, Christian.
