I didn't really like the current state of iPhone/Mobile redirect middleware mainly because I wanted something that was closer to twitters use case. So I came up with this. I don't think it a great snippet and I will probably fix it in the near future. But it works.

        def process_request(self, request):
                if not request.session.get('mobile'):
                        p = re.compile('iPhone|iPod', re.IGNORECASE)
                        if p.search(request.META['HTTP_USER_AGENT']):
                                request.session['mobile'] = True
                        else:
                                request.session['mobile'] = False

                        return
