Is there any easy way to detect if the device is a Mobile Phone,
Handheld, Pda etc when the user enter a site?

For example, if the user hav a Mobile Phone I want to redirect the user
to http://mobile.xxx.com but if the user have computer i want them to
stay on the adress http://www.xxx.com

Would be very thankful if anyone can help me!

Just check the server variable USER_AGENT

I have thought of that, but there is so many browsers, os etc, and it
is a hard job to keep that list updated.

Any other suggestions?
