And let me note here, as I so often do, that I read WP on my Blackberry quite frequently, and the combination of page layout and CSS (which my browser ignores) works quite well on that size screen, with the stock Blackberry browser.
So I'm not sure how much extension it can be said actually to need....
Mine reads css but misplace elements on the page , for example, the left column is shown at bottom and a margin of this size is kept, making the article unreadable, with one word by line. Moreover, lot of data like language lists or toolbox, harmless for a classic screen transform the page in a monster, loosing the reader in thousands of informations.
Force CSS off, and you'll likely be happier.
CSS is almost never a win on a PDA sized screen, anyway.

I mean, we have a different page for printing pages, couldn't this be done also for pda?
You wouldn't want to do it that way; if you did, you'd have to click through to it from every page.
Not sure. For example, google, which has a pda special interface, detects the browser and switches automatically to a light interface. imho, it could be done on a mediawiki page, the software detects the browser and shows the right interface.
Yes, which is the alternative approach to the "click on a printable page link" like approach you were suggesting.
The problem *there* is that guesses are often wrong, and rarely overridable.
