Just an idea - don't know if this has been introduced here before, but here it goes :

As the version 1 of DNN contained few options of mobile use and it has been discarded in later versions, I thought, could it be possible do this :

- For module control types, add few additional types like "Mobile View", "Mobile Settings", "Mobile Edit" and "Mobile Skin Object". If module developer wants to add mobile functionality to such module, he/she just has to create, at least "Mobile View" for viewing the module content but also there would be possibility to create editors for content and settings as well as skin objects...

- ..which brings me to the other side of the idea : for creating some kind of UI, there should be some kind of selection in "skin.xml" and "container.xml" for the target media of skin or container. Here could be used CSS2 -medias like "all", "aural", screen", "handheld", "print" etc.

Since it is propably impossible to convert the whole content with all javascript and such content to handheld devices, could this be a solution for providing information through DNN to handhelds and mobile devices. This could expand the audience of DNN a whole lot more. Of course mobile module settings and content edit should be possible from high end web browser of a normal pc, but propably not vice versa. Naturally the actual switch between medias should be done in default.aspx.

What do you think - could this be a solution ?
