Building a single front-end that scales from a low-end cell phone all the way to a full-blown desktop-equivalent ajax interface is pretty much impossible, either purely from a technical POV, or from a cost/benefit POV. . Looking at gmail they have at least 4 different front-ends: standard (and standard + chat), basic, html mobile, and java mobile. . Each of these is tuned to a particular audience. I think that approach makes the most sense. I think it’s inevitable that you build more than one front-end to cater to different markets.
