Reza,

do not worry, I've been around uaprofs for some time now and db's even
longer ;-)

and there's always more than one way.

But an approach from both sides and see where they meet can only add
to the joy.

I'm overjoyed you joined the ranks of 'us' who ask/beg/plead for log
data : user-agent and NIC region [nothing identifiable].

Actually, I totally agree : ideally we should have a box, like I have
here, and feed it 'logs' non-stop, as I try to here, and see what
drops out, then go running to the uaprofile db and use the 'Knowledge'
to navigate the maze.

And yes, as expected current devices are shifting to non-device
software determined 'devices'.

However the OS a device was released with "stocked" is *important* :
that is the difference between : method 2 [look up what OS it came
with in DDR] and method 3 [see what OS it has now in the UA string].
So *not* a "misclassification" [as explained before].

That in itself is an *important*  data-point and must be preserved !
The difference may be academic for some, but is significant for
serious traffic analyses.

*But* it is not related to the point I was raising which is : IF the
difference in OS turns out to be significant MAYBE the DDR should
contain that 'version' of the 'device' too [note 'method 2' *not*
'method 3'].
That is what I'm trying to establish with the analyses.
