ASP.NET Mobile Handset Detection, Redirection & Development Made Easy
Today almost all web sites are designed to operate on a
desktop or laptop computer. Anyone operating marketing,
ecommerce, information or entertainment web sites now needs
to consider the mobile phone when designing content and
services. Mobile web sites development is increasing day by
day and so is the number of different mobile devices trying
to access the web sites.
Major problems for web
developers for mobile website development are following:
* Detect mobile device and redirect user to mobile website
E.g. practical client requirement: Apple users should be
redirected to an Apple theme URL, RIM (BlackBerry) users
should be redirected to a Blackberry theme URL and all other
mobile devices should be redirected to a standard mobile
theme URL.
* Mobile device database to fetch mobile
capabilities in order to deliver the best possible
experience to mobile users
E.g. does this phone
support java or flash, or what kind of entry method is
available, such as a qwerty keyboard or a touch screen?
