Does anyone have suggestions for the best code or extension to control mobile device redirection. Here is what I need to do:

Have a "Main Site" mywebsite.com.

Have a "Mobile Site" mobile.mywebsite.com.

When someone visits mywebsite.com from a mobile device, I need to detect it and redirect them to the mobile.mywebsite.com (this is the easy part I think because there are a couple different extensions that do this).
