PHP & Apache: the Tools of the Mobile Web

ruadhan — Thu, 07 May 2009 15:00:48 +0000

We recently ran a survey on mobiForge with a view to getting a better understanding of the tools and work habits of mobile web developers using our services.

A number of you had expressed an interest in seeing the outcome of the survey, so we've compiled the results and created some graphs for your viewing pleasure.

DeviceAtlas 2.1

atrasatti — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 18:00:10 +0000

DeviceAtlas 2.1 brings some VERY exciting features that kept us awake during the last few nights and we hope that the results will also keep you awake at night looking at how you can improve your mobile sites and contents.

First the less exciting part, we have made the signup process for Developer licences much easier, now all that is required is to accept the EULA and you're on. We REALLY want everyone to get a licence and get started. We have also streamlined some other portions of the purchase process and we hope this will make the navigation easier for you.

DeviceAtlas 2.0

We're thrilled to launch the new version of our award-winning DeviceAtlas platform. Version 2.0 is a huge step forward for us, and we hope it's going to change the way you think about mobile device information.

Since we launched DeviceAtlas at the start of the year, we've been working hard to source mobile device information from all over the world. Take a look at the footer of the site and you'll see the logos of handset manufacturers, mobile operators and leading vendors who've all helped us enormously to do this.

Vertical Search just got better

One of the new goodies we developed for mobiForge was our Vertical Search feature. This search replaces the stock search functionality bundled with the CMS that mobiForge runs on. If you haven't tried it out yet, in a nutshell, Vertical Search combines mobiForge search results with relevant results from various other mobile resource sites from around the web.

Sony Ericsson joins DeviceAtlas

Today we have added a new source to DeviceAtlas and we think it's very exciting. Sony Ericsson via their developer site is officially joining DeviceAtlas providing profiles for their own devices. Check out the P1i for example or the W550i and you will see information from Sony Erisson.

DeviceAtlas 2.0 PREVIEW

atrasatti — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 18:40:09 +0000

Back in June we announced the launch of TA-DA, our own test suite for mobile devices. We followed up with a little tutorial.

Despite the summer, the sun and everything else (ok, alright, there is not much sun in Ireland, but we DO go on vacation sometimes) we worked hard in the last couple of months and in fact we are ready to release yet another improvement to DeviceAtlas.

DeviceAtlas 1.3.1, better browser detection and more security

atrasatti — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 18:24:11 +0000

It is July, and you would expect most of the European countries to be on vacation somewhere sunny and hot, but we still took the time to prepare a new release for you. We have a couple of improvements that we wanted to get to you as quickly as possible.

RIP Openwave Mobile Browser

So as we all get spun up in the excitement and wonder over iPhone 2.0, and as Apple appears to continue its ascendancy in the mobile space, I feel compelled to share about a company that’s gone in the other direction. I don’t know if folks don’t care, or there really isn’t any impact as a result of it, but either way I feel inclined to spend some pixels on a recent development.

Device Testing is here, TA-DA!

atrasatti — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 11:55:00 +0000

We all know how important accurate device profiles are, and this is proven by the success DeviceAtlas has already had in less than 4 month. In the initial months we have focused on consolidating existing "database silos" and we are still doing that, but we want to do more now and introduce real-time browser testing with TA-DA.
