There is an interesting article at ALA regarding small screen rendering.

I was enjoying the section about Opera and stylesheets for the small screen in particular.
Here's a quote from the start of that section:
"Opera works under the assumption that most web pages are not designed for handhelds. If "fit to screen" is enabled, which it is by default on most devices, author styles are ignored and pages are reformatted for the small screen unless the page has a style sheet specifically aimed at handhelds."
Now I need to go check out some of the included links and see what information I can dig up on other browsers. Have to say though, if I were to break down and buy one of those "electronic leashes" I have been so stubbornly avoiding, I think I would have to grab Opera as my small screen browser of choice. They appear to have really been working hard to fine tune for that market.
