One for desktop browsers that have full voice, plugin, etc. capabilities, and one for those which do not (PDAs, printing, etc.)

There is absolutely no need to have separate versions of your content nor to have "browser detection" (a dead-end anyway). Just do it right and you won't have to worry about what browser the client is using, it will just work.
