If they surf to http://billso.com/ the iPhone user will be redirected to http://billso.com/iphone/ Then they can choose the regular site or the mobile version. I can add a cookie to this landing page to remember the choice for future sessions. Would that help? Let me know! I could develop a landing page for iPhone users.

I added that last week, but I have not had a chance to test it on an iPhone or an iPod Touch – I do not own either device. Mahalo! Ah, the iPhone home screen button worked!

The site is a little on the plain side, as you mentioned, but still very usable. Loads very quickly on the iPhone, even on EDGE, so that's always a plus for those times I'm checking the site in class... ... I mean, when I'm at work... ... I mean, when there's no wi-fi connection to speak of. Yes. That's it. Also, the site defaults to the mobile site on the iPhone, I can't get to the desktop version, even if I explicitly type in billso.com Otherwise, works like a charm.
