http://www.sponichi.co.jp/js/common/common.js will either redirect or show banner depending on the browser sniffing and where you are on the site:

// smartphone
if (navigator.userAgent.search(/iphone/i) > -1 
        || navigator.userAgent.search(/android/i) > -1
        || navigator.userAgent.search(/windows phone/i) > -1) {

    var path = window.location.pathname;
    var redirect = false;
    if (path == '/' || path == '/index.html') {
        redirect = true;
    }
    if (path.match(/^\/(soccer|baseball|battle|sports|olympic|entertainment|society|gamble)\/($|index\.html$)/)) {
        redirect = true;
    }
    if (path.match(/^\/(soccer|baseball|battle|sports|olympic|entertainment|society|gamble)\/news\/\d+\/\d+\/\d+\/kiji\/\w+\.html$/)) {
        redirect = true;
    }
    if (redirect == true) {
        sp_mode = getCookie("sp_mode");
        if (sp_mode == 1) {
            // SPモードに飛ばす
            location.replace("http://m.sponichi.co.jp"+window.location.pathname);
        } else {
            // リンク生成
            makeSPLink();
        }
    }
}

According to the redirection script:

# iPhone (or more exactly iOS)
  Currently there are 3 device types, if we remove the information which is not device related, we get:

  _ (iPhone; _ iOS _) _ Mobile_ 
  _ (iPod; _ iOS _) _ Mobile_ 
  _ (iPad; _ iOS _) _ Mobile_ 

  Mobile is a better string to use in this case, the site would catch ipad and ipod, which it doesn't now.

# Android
  This is very generic and will almost anything, even tablet with the Android keywords.

# Windows Phone
  The pattern for Windows Phone is:
  _ (_ Windows Phone OS _ IEMobile_)

so the Web site script can be improved by doing: 

// smartphone
if (navigator.userAgent.search(/mobi/i) > -1 
        || navigator.userAgent.search(/android/i) > -1 {

    var path = window.location.pathname;
   // rest of the code

}

Closing as we are not working on Firefox OS anymore.
