 * Sometimes I don understan WP core developers, and the extramly poor is_mobile()
   is a great example for something useless. Howdy WordPress! Who wanna see a big
   ios button on the Samsung Galaxy tablet?
 * So you need a better detection. And this plugin provides that.
 * This plugin is using php-mobile-detect, The lightweight PHP class for detecting
   mobile devices (including tablets) and I been using that script for a long time,
   outside the WordPress area.
 * I did some test of other plugins before I was going to develope my own, based
   on the script mention above. None actually filled the simpleness and stable of
   what I needed. Except for this one, Hmmm this might be a good solution – then
   I read that this was build on my old favorite script.
 * I only miss the auto class naming of each device setup like is-desktop class 
   in the body tag, but ya can add easy your own function for that.
 * A tip, when using this kind of plugin, always make a if (function exsists) call,
   so your theme doesnt break when Not using mobile detection later on, for some
   reaason.
