ANOTHER OPTION

Another option to display mobile specific contents is to use the Blogger IF condition statement.

Here you will check blogger variable "data:blog.isMobile". if it is "true", then site is in mobile mode.
If you want to place Javascript Codes ( like Adsense code or FB plugin codes) inside the blogger conditional statement, then you have to escape the JS script by using an HTMl escape tool.

<b:if cond='data:blog.isMobile'>
