Google adds more and more mobile-friendlyness as ranking signal. Some websites are responsive others use separate (sub)domains for mobile and desktop. Help Google and other searchengines finding the adequate version.

Connect desktop and mobile pages to each other if they match. Add rel="alternate" to the desktop page (additional to rel="canonical") as meta tag. Let meta tag rel="canonical" on the mobile page link to the desktop page.

Workaround would be using media queries in css3 and use one url for all devices. However, old browser can't handle new types of media queries.

If this is still required by somebody now that most mobile browsers in the wild should be able to handle CSS media queries, please report back.
