A note on min-device-width
In addition to *-width, it is also possible to create queries based on *-device-width; the difference is subtle but very important. min-width is based on the size of the browser window, where as min-device-width is based on the size of the screen.
"
Much worse, actually. In some browsers, including Android WebKit, it's the screen size in device pixels. In other browsers, including Chrome, it's the size of the ideal viewport (the one you get with width=device-width). So you'll never know what you'll get.
See also http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2013/11/screenwidth_is.html , which is about screen.width/height, but device-width/height is ALWAYS, in all 50 browsers I tested, equal to screen.width/height, so the conclusions are valid in this case as well.
Advise users NEVER to use device-width/height.
