TYPO3 has the features you are talking about. You can set a condition in the
template that will present the data to your audience based on what they are
using when they come to your site.

Conditions includes: browser, version, system, device, useragent, language,
IP, hostname, hour/minute/dayofweek/dayofmonth/month, usergroup, etc. This
can be as detailed as you want.

This can get crazy though. You could literally push the same data to a
German customer, using Lynx, on a Friday who is coming to your site from a
specific IP address. ;) Ok, so you might not need that, but I've used it for
some very special multilanguage sites, and I've built XHTML compliant
designs with a different template for older browsers. I've output the data
to XML to include in a Flash design (there are Flash sites that use TYPO3 to
maintain the content this way).

I'm not saying you can just drop a condition in and everything works fine.
You still need to build a template that works with those conditions. TYPO3,
like any other CMS with those features, only provides the tools for you to
do this.
