doing it wrong

Take that product and hand it to a dev team that understands bandwidth client/server and presentation. A decent product "might" emerge Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 57 years. meep

First, there's unknown screen proportions. But leave that aside and there's actual moving content. A screenshot from a TV broadcast doesn't look anything like a newspaper. Which one should a tablet emulate? When should it emulate one or the other? And why? We're just starting to work on this stuff. -- Drew

Post #367,247 by folkert 12/4/12 1:46:58 PM Reply	Ding ding ding! Agreed. Keep the white space and add into it the movable stuff. Though, who am I to talk? I cram upwards of 80 to a 100 terminal sessions and a browser, mail client, IM client, Voice/Video Client, notifications, Weather, shortcuts... plus a background image into my desktop, err three desktops... plus 3 monitors. -- greg@gregfolkert.net PGP key 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C

Once the browser/tablet is identified a target template filters content for that tablet. Back in the ustawuzzes is what we did for phones Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 57 years. meep

For Android, the OEM browser UA may include the device name, but user installed browsers likely do not. E.g. Firefox makes a distinction between phones and tablets but that is all you get. CSS can differentiate between screen sizes but that would not help much with content delivery.
