I would suggest you have a main site for branding purpose (one- or two-word, easy to remember, and pass the Siri test etc), then corner the space of your business by buying up domain names in that space to send traffic back to the main site. On your main site, use device detection and CSS3 to decide what content and display format to use to deliver contents to visitors. However, the problem with device detection is that new devices are coming out everyday so the device database must be updated constantly.

However, you can also consider an unconventional approach -- mobile first. Knowing mobile phone users are overtaking PC users in Internet access, develop a mobile site. This may be against the mainstream that you hear, but that's my approach anyway. For mobile site development, make sure you score high in Google Speed Test as Google is placing emphasis on the load time.

Just my 2c.
