That’s why I tend to rant every now and then – okay, at just about every seminar. As the web moves into more and more places, from cellphones to set-top boxes to game consoles (and yes even to paper), web professionals need to be aware that their sites need to be capable of adapting to these (very) differing screens.

For mobile, the devices most likely to show up to one’s website are running WebKit-based browsers or the newest version of Opera, both of which default to using screen media type instead of handheld. Opera can switch to the handheld media type, but WebKit which is going to be found on the iPhone OS, S60, Android, and Palm Pre systems is fixed on screen media only. These browsers do have the ability to use CSS media queries though (which would be a nice add to the media bar in DW – nudge nudge wink wink say no more…)

That said, I do wish more people (or really, everyone) would test their web layouts on mobile, and particularly for iPhone. Often the print is tiny on the little iPhone screen and resizing the screen doesn’t help.
