While the word "Mobile" is probably triggering use of the mobile version on some websites, it's possible to make an exception if the word "iPad" is found in the user agent. Still, there are reasons other than screen size where a mobile version of the site is preferable. For example, if the main website primarily uses Flash or if the site uses complex scripts that the iPad's browser doesn't handle all that well. |
The fault of mostly the websites that are being visited, as the hosts are not yet identifying between phone and tablet user agents. However, this will most likely change with many sites very shortly.
