PC and Mobile based browser application development using CI.

[eluser]UdayD[/eluser]
Hi,

I am about to start an web application which is to be developed using CI and is intended for the PC and mobile users. So for starting the project I needed help and had following doubts.

1) How can I go about detecting the devices/browsers through which the requests comes?

2) How can be the html and css changed according to the user(mobile/ipad/pc)?

3) Is there anything which i need to take care from server stand point?

4) Does CI provide some library to handle these kind of application or any library which will be useful for this application?

5) Do I have to use jQuery Mobile as well and can it be used with CI?

6) As there are n number of devices in the world, which devices can be targeted the most, i.e. for which devices(smartphones/tablets)? I understand that will depend on application and the user pool which will use it. But still we intend to do it for devices which are largely used.

7) Can anyone provide any links/tutorial/examples/sample codes which will help to start the work?

8) Any other suggestions/comments/ideas which you might have are welcome.

This is my first mobile based project, so please forgive me if there is any lame question asked.

Thanks,
Uday
