Best Practices Validating WordPress Mobile Plugin

We need to hack that validator to impersonate mobile browsers too. Maybe tomorrow night.

This plugin works well overall, better than some as its detecting windows mobile phones that others have isues with.
However - it doesn’t seem to render any of the text in from a static page in wordpress - only the posts.
Any ideas why?
Thanks.

Have you made any new hacks to it? It’s working pretty good, but you havn’t updated since November.
