Simple Mobile Theme Changer
#2
From what I remember of that plugin, it ended up being a lot more than "Simple" as the name suggests. Having the option to use a different theme for different platforms (iPhone/webOS/Android) I thought was superfluous and a mobile theme should work just fine across those platforms regardless. Less work, more simple.

  1. You could use media queries in your main theme's stylesheet to target mobile devices and restyle accordingly. No GetSimple plugins required.
  2. It looks like there's at least a few themes that supposedly render cleanly for mobile devices. I've only used the iGetSimple theme but that was a few years ago now and it may need some tidying up.
  3. Not at this stage, this is something the Simple Mobile Theme Changer really should handle too (something I recommended here). You could also manage this with JavaScript and media queries. First of all you would "namespace" all your media-query selectors for mobile styles with a body class like "body.mob". Then using JavaScript use a link to toggle this class on and off for mobile devices, then use a cookie to keep track of that toggle's state between pages. There's a run-through of getting that to work on Toolbox Digital's blog.
