2011-10-04 Thread Don
We have a requirement to 'detect mobile devices'. I've done some priliminary research and see some are using WURFL file. Is there anyone here using this? Also was wondering what others have been using for this? and are there any recommendations. Thanks

Yes: use WURFL. Does this sound like a resonable solution download WURFL file, pick out the specific few things we are looking for and insert that into our database. Then when we get a user-agent that is mobile we could detect that with a query to our db.
