Sarah, you make some very good points. I think we should especially consider the bandwidth loading lots of extra content takes. Data plans are still incredibly expensive and 3g is not ubiquitous folks ( try living in a rural area)
One other way of achieving a redirect – conforming to what is a better user experience as Simon suggests (and I wholeheartedly agree) is to use a .htaccess file
Another point I was told javascript (learnt from one of Andy Clarke’s workshops hat tip Dan Rubin) would also be used to lose the address bar often desired on web apps

if just iPhone you could do
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.iPhone.$
RewriteRule (.*) http://m.shaunhare.com/$1

<script type=“text/javascript” charset=“utf-8”> window.onload = function() { setTimeout(function(){window.scrollTo(0, 1);}, 100); } </script>Does the head tag now do that without the js? – must try that.
Thanks for sharing your practical experience.
