Mobile Devices and SharePoint (WSS & MOSS)

There is some great documentation present in MSDN Online regarding mobile development for SharePoint. One of the great features of SharePoint is that you're able to give mobile device users easier access to SharePoint pages.

If for example you want to make customisations for mobile pages in Windows SharePoint Services there are two approaches according to the MSDN documentation:

1) Create custom mobile pages from scratch and let Windows SharePoint Services redirect users to these pages

2) Override an existing Windows SharePoint Services mobile control template to create a unique mobile Home page by site definition type, or a unique mobile view page according to site definition type and list definition type.

Use the first approach to create an additional custom mobile page from scratch and use it as a Windows SharePoint Services mobile page. Use the latter approach to customize some part of existing Windows SharePoint Services mobile pages through user controls (.ascx files).
