what size favicon for mobile devices?
Mobile devices use different size favicons and I’m lost regarding the apple ones.
In the oreilly site it says:
Up to iOS 3.1 (known as iPhone OS at that time), 57×57 pixels was the only available size for the WebClip. Starting with iOS 3.2 for iPad, 72×72 is the icon size we should use if we detect this device. For iOS 4.0 or newer, devices with high DPIs (such as iPhone 4) need an icon size of 114×114 pixels. Otherwise, the device will resize the icon with quality loss.
so we have
- 57×57
- 72×72
- 114×114
and only one code: <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="iphone_icon.png" />
How can I create native favicons for all apple mobile devices?

The code is a php code.

Re: what size favicon for mobile devices?
There was an article detailing some of this and more related info on 24ways just a few days ago: life beyond media queries. In that they show an additional attribute sizes="114x114". I guess that means the following:
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="apple-touch-icon-iphone.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="apple-touch-icon-ipad.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="apple-touch-icon-iphone4.png" />BTW, if you’re also tailoring your site to different viewport dimensions, you might also find the recommendations in the less framework interesting.

Hi Dragondz,
Thanks so according to this and my ignorance with php could the code be
<txp:php>
float version = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue];
if (version > 3.2)
{
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/mobile/3/iphone_icon.png" />
}
else if (version < 4.2)
{
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/mobile/4/iphone_icon.png" />
}
else if (version > 4.1999)
{
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/mobile/42/iphone_icon.png" />
}</txp:php>

That is the recommended code suggested by Apple

Re: what size favicon for mobile devices?
Well… The code does not validate on xhtml but validates in html 5. As my sites are xhtml I scouted the net for some code to make the rel links invisible to non mobile browsers.
would this work or does anyone know of a better method ?
<txp:php>
$iphone = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPhone");
$android = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"Android");
$palmpre = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"webOS");
$ipod = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPod");
$ipad = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPad");
if(!$iphone && !$android && !$palmpre && !$ipod && !$ipad) {
echo '<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/touch-icon-iphone.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="/touch-icon-ipad.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="/touch-icon-iphone4.png" />';
}
</txp:php>many thanks
