Much appreciated! I didn't realize that source order was causing the issue for my mini browser and I didn't think of the FeedBurner mobile server while doing this. As for Justin's note - had the post nearly done when I saw yours come up but after all the work I had done on both figuring out the mobile redirects (i.e. javascript vs. htaccess and which works better) and writing the post I still had to put it up. Plus, my post contain numerious things to watch out for that I don't believe you had in yours so I figured that it could be useful to folks. :-) Thanks for all the great info guys. Much appreciated!

Not bad for a "business guy" :-) It's worth noting here that mobile browsers (and other low-fi user agents) read your page in source order, not necessarily left to right. So if you order your markup properly and keep the inline images and remote scripts to a minimum, you should be able to get away with using your regular site as your "mobile" version. Impressive!
