Make a Sharepoint publishing site NOT convert to mobile format

It has been like months that I wanted to look at this common issue : when you open a Sharepoint publishing site from a mobile device, it recognises the device is mobile and forces to open the mobile version, but prompts fo ra login, not great for anonymous users !

thanks to Glyn Clough’s I now have an explanation of the why (cf. feature in his reverse engineering tests) and thanks to Randy Drisgill I manage to force mobile users to open the full desktop site, which looks much better on an iPhone anyway.
