Important Notes: (updated June 6, 2010)
* Set Global Configuration > Systems > Cache = no for the plugin to work, otherwise what you will see is the cached version of the article, which may have been generated by a device other than the one you are viewing the article on.
* If you have caching enabled, and your content is in a module, make sure to set the module not to be cached (advanced parameters > caching)
* If you use the plugin in a module, make sure that the module is capable of running plugins (such as mod_placehere)
This is the plugin I've been looking for. One of the big problems with joomla right now is that there wasn't any way to serve different content for mobile devices than for desktops. Once you were done styling for the mobile, what if the images or the content was too large to fit on the phone? There is no way in the joomla core to serve up different content for mobile until I found this plugin. It is so simple to use and does exactly what I need it to do. It allows you to serve up different content specifically made for the small mobile screens while keeping the desktop content intact. Thank you very much for writing this and I really hope you'll port it to the newer versions of Joomla as they come along. It is a really needed feature.
I have installed this plugin and have changed my articles by merging the "apple" pages with the "noapple" pages.
It is working fine. You just have to remember to set the cache off and to empty it.
Jossi, the developper answers quickly and is very helpful.

This solved (like to many people like me) the problem to show a flash content for some users and an alternative html content for mobile users.
Thanks

Wonderful plugin. Overcame all my apple - flash issues. **kisses this plugin
Very good plugin, very easy to use. Detects my android device perfectly.
Maybe it would be nice if we could group several devices in one tag, like {noapplemobile,noandroid} for example.
Anyway, I highly recommend, if you're looking for a very simple way to display or not a piece of content depending on the device.

this is excellent plug in, if it would recognize more mobile devices, it would be priceless, i'd even pay to get it.

It ill be quite easy to add more devices. What other mobile devices you are interested in?
