XHTMLMP - Screen Width/Mobile Specs
How do I get the Specs for each mobile device? In PHP, if I print the globals, the User Agent is in there but it does not have any information about the device? How can I get this information?

That sort of information isn't usually sent by the device itself.
There are profiles available online of each device but things like WURFL have this sort of information stored in XML or database.

Have a look at device atlas -
there is a PHP version available.

Nice. Thanks. That looks like a project. Could I get away with the assumption that the screen is 200px? That should work for probably 90%+ of the time...

Well that would rule me out

Average screen size is between 160 and 240px.

I'll make all the images 160px or less and use 100% width for anything that should span the entire width of the screen. Would that work?
