I'm looking at the same issue here, basically wanting to "bolt on" a directory of mobile views without messing with my controllers (if possible).

One place to do this may be the config in app/config/views.php:

isMobile()) {
    // you're a mobile device
    $viewPath = __DIR__.'/../mobile';
} else {
    // you're a desktop device, or something similar
    $viewPath = __DIR__.'/../views';
}


return array(
    'paths' => array($viewPath),
    .....

seems to work, giving you a completely different directory to work from.

I'll continue to experiment, as perhaps there will be some overlap between the desktop and mobile includes, but we'll see.
