RE: URLs and access issues

What is being suggested here - the ability to auto-detect the browser/device and return content accordingly can already be done using the user agent string and a bit of code. This is exactly what we do on our company website (www.appswing.com) and my personal site. In fact a wrote a short blog on the subject with the Perl code to do it: http://www.neilthompson.co.uk/gm/archives/00000014.htm

 
On the appswing.com site when a request is made from a mobile device the CMS system returns just the content without all the stuff around the outside.
 
This allows us to have one domain name for all devices.
