Mobile Device Browser File

Scott Hanselman in his MIX09 Nurddiner talk highlighting ASP.Net on MVC showed us the newly launched Mobile Device Browser File rendering your Web page on a Blackberry or an iPhone.

The Mobile Browser Definition File contains definitions for individual mobile devices and browsers. At run time, ASP.NET uses the information in the request header to determine what type of device/browser has made the request.

This project provides a data file that when used with ASP.NET will detect the incoming mobile device and present you as the web developer with a set of 67 capabilities or properties describing the requesting device. These capabilities range from screen size to cookie support and provide all the information you need to adaptively render content for mobile phones and devices
