This is really good news, just two isuses from my point of view1) No buzz logo (why just using the google one?)2) why you can’t post directly from the home page? you can do it that way in mobile twitter and facebook web sites, it is more natural and more desktop alike UX.I think these two isuses are easy to implement and will make xhtml buzz look more like first class citizen in mobile social sites.

Thanks for the note, Catmini. MobileESP is optimized for one thing only: to detect whether the guest is using a mobile device. All other business logic, such as redirecting a user to a mobile-optimized version of your site (or not), is up to the web site publisher to determine and implement in a way that makes sense with your goals, your CMS’ capabilities, and so on.

Thanks for the note, Timothy. I’ve updated the blog post to clarify that the Silk mode is detected as RichCSS Tier. When the device is browsing normally (Silk mode off), then it detects as a normal Android mobile phone, which means that it reports in the iPhone Tier.

The Kindle Fire browser should be detected at least as a Rich CSS tier device — perhaps even as a tablet?

Hi Anthony,

I’ve just started using your plugin and it seems super easy to use. I have 1 question. Is it possible to alter the code so that when the user wants to see the full site after visiting the mobile site they can? ie so that it doesn’t automatically redirect back to the mobile site.

Many thanks and keep up the good work,

Andy

Is there a way I can let the visitors of my mobile site choose to switch back to the desktop page
