| May 24, 2013 at 6:11 | comment | added | zuallauz | I thought you're supposed to do something with the device-width media query because the width/resolution is becoming increasingly inaccurate especially with pixel density of various displays e.g. Apple's "Retina" devices. So then if the device width is within the general width for a mobile device then you show a different layout. For an tablet/desktop user I just show the same layout ie 1024px wide. | |

| May 24, 2013 at 2:58 | comment | added | Channel72 | I guess what I'm saying is that the connection between "screen resolution" and actual screen size (e.g. centimeters/inches of screen width) is becoming increasingly transient. | |
| May 24, 2013 at 2:57 | comment | added | ruakh | If the goal of Responsive Web Design is (as Wikipedia claims) "easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling", then why do you care whether it's a desktop or a mobile? What matters is the device's screen resolution and screen size, not what type of device it is. No? | |
