Default Re: xMobile - Smartphone mobile template

OK, I'll bite.

THE PROBLEM I see with serving xMobile to a tablet is that modern desktop templates can look GREAT on an iPad. Even a 7" Kindle Fire. BUT -- a very specific mobile template looks kinda sucky on an iPad. Downright bad.

Asking the customer to choose before they enter your site, to me, is an invitation for disaster.
But then again, the developer of xMobile encrypted the init.php, so I can't edit it. I don't know the logic they are choosing to use.

I'd like to see the settings for init.php set in a config file that the admin can edit.
Maybe that would make a better solution?
