So long story short, we've got a mobile project for all our mobile users i.e. Mobile & Tablets but we're looking at implementing a way to show a homepage based on if you're visiting from a mobile or from a tablet.
Is there anyway to do this on an application level as we've got the mobile redirect setup in IIS already which picks up if the user is on a mobile device in general and redirects.
Thanks.

I am looking to develop a mobile friendly video chat application in the form of a web app (not an iPhone/Android app). It will largely be used by desktop and mobile iOS users. I understand that iOS only supports WebRTC for the Safari browser and not Chrome, Firefox, etc.
Is their an alternative technology to WebRTC for creating a video chat mobile web application that has support for the Chrome browser on iOS?
Or is it the case that if I want users to use the video chat web application from their iPhones that they will need to use Safari?
I'm a software engineer looking for a multi mobile platform SDK (Surface Pro, Surface RT, iOS) to develop an application for merchant navy.
To make things short:
the mariners are application users and will carry a device all day long (12h) on their vessel in order to fill their daily check list.
The check list is uploaded to application on the mobile device at start of day.
To get this daily check list, the end user will connect the mobile device to onboard computer (USB,Wifi,Bluetooth?)
When the day is done, the end user will connect back to onboard computer and start pushing back the user data to a local database or storage.
Any tips would be appreciated on what mobile technology and SDK I should start on.

In ASP.NET MVC application how can I detect whether the user is using the Tablet device or the Mobile device?
Please I am looking for a no media queries solution.
There is nothing built-in for ASP.Net (you can test Request.UserAgent, but you need to know more info about specific device), you could detect the device client-side(with the help of something like web.wurfl.io) then parametrize your controllers, otherwise, if you are looking for a pure server-side solution, you could try WURFL => Wireless Universal Resource FiLe
WURFL is a Device Description Repository (DDR), i.e. a framework that
enables applications to map HTTP requests to a description of the
capability of the mobile device that requests the page. In this
regard, WURFL pre-dates the time when the DDR term was coined and
could arguably be caracterized as the first DDR. In the last year,
WURFL role has expended from being a DDR for mobile devices to being a
framework to detect every HTTP client worth recognizing.
Thanks to WURFL, mobile web sites and application can:
programmatically abstract away devices differences
avoid the need to modify applications whenever a new device ships
avoid the need to track new devices on the market
WURFL is a global database of all devices and the API to tap that
information programmatically.
I need to supply a single page website for a client to view offline on an iPad / iPhone.
The webpage will have Javascript, image and video assets. Reading about Cache Manifest it seems the cache on iPad is limited to 5mb.
Anyone suggest any routes forward, which ideally do not require the use of an additional app, but will allow for the offline storage of video.
You will likely have trouble with Safari to guarantee availability of your web page and videos offline.
The most reliable alternative would be to create an app using PhoneGap, because that would give you control over the video and the web page being stored offline. However that requires you to distribute it as an iOS-app to your client.
If you don't/can't distribute it as an app, you could try to find an app that is designed for offline browsing and supports video on the appstore. If you search for "Offline browser iPhone" on google or appstore you will be presented with some alternatives.
I was checking out an iphone game called kijja where they have a live connection from the app to a website and you use the phone as your game controller. Does anyone know what they are using to do this on the backend? http://kijjaa.com/air/
It got me thinking of some ideas and I was wondering if you might be able to do the same thing from a web app in mobile safari instead of a native app, maybe using node.js? Does that seem possible or am I dreaming?
