What’s the current defacto standard for ASP.NET mobile development across a wide variety of devices (not just Microsoft devices)? I’ve researched http://www.asp.net/mobile/ and have looked into both Control Adapters and Mobile Controls. These solutions are workable however the technologies seem outdated by way of mobile devices tested (old ones), last updated project dates, etc.
I suppose Microsoft might be focused on their own Windows mobile devices; however I want to hit a variety of devices in a generic way (e.g. mostly various Blackberry devices, also iPhone, etc) for the web – basically things that might not render a regular web page well or at all.
(However I’ve noted from other threads that iPhone etc can often browse the regular website version).
Is there another website I should be researching for ASP.NET mobile development, or this seemingly outdated stuff the best I will get?
You might be interestesd in the Mobile Device Browser File. It uses the App_Browsers and .browser file mechanism within ASP.Net to identify browser capabilities. These guys are good at keeping the file up to date with the latest devices and their capabilities
