Sorry for asking this dump question.

I am just wondering what are the benefits of using DeviceAtlas if I have only mobi website? I think the mobi website is already optimized for mobile devices.

Is DeviceAtlas only good for people has both desktop website and mobi website?

Regards,
DB

Without any DDR such as DeviceAtlas it is difficult to adapt your site, not only to mobile devices in general (coding for XHTML Mobile Profile etc.) but to make it usable and good looking on all devices.

Basic stuff you might want to use DeviceAtlas for:

  • Get the screenwidth of a device makes it possible to scale the image for every device
  • Get the videoformats supported for video playback
  • Get the model if you need to implement an exception for a specific device
  • Adapt the site especially for touch devices
