Loading a form depending on device

I have a CRM form that that looks good when viewed from a monitor. However, it doesn't look very good on a phone or tablet. I would like to have another form load that is more mobile UI friendly if the user is viewing the app from a mobile device. Both forms are from the same entity.

Does anyone have any advice on how to detect the type of device and load the appropriate form automatically?

Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. I think the getClient() method is what I need.

Normally you can use the Xrm.Page.ui.formSelector and the navigate() method to open a given form, but the Xrm.Page.ui.formSelector is not available in the mobile client. You could maybe default to using the mobile-friendly form, and use the navigate() method to open the other form if a non-mobile client is used - you can use context.client.getClient() to determine if the client is Web or Mobile
