how does the mobile search know sites which are designed specifically for mobile devices if they are not WAP?

I'm so happy to see them using "mobile.google.com" instead of "www.google.mobi". Sends the right message out that we don't need all these ridiculous new domain extensions when we can use perfectly good subdomains.

Good work Google.
