Re: What checks are included with "is_smartphone"
it is a totally arbitrary definition of SmartPhone that may change in the future without notice to follow the evolution of the browser and device market. Think of it like a vienna sausage (hot dog). It is easily available and many like it, but only as long as nobody tells them what the ingredients are.Ekariallp wrote:Just curious on what goes into the "is_smartphone" virtual capability?

In fact, I am tempted to argue that if you are wondering about what we put inside that capability, you may want to cook your own definition of smartphone with the other fresh unprocessed capabilities. This will give you more control on your WURFL intake and may result in healthier mobile lifestyle for your application.
Do you still want to know what you can find inside?

Sure, give me a peak inside your processed meat byproducts
I'm looking for something pretty vague anyways...

Must be a mobile deviceEkariallp wrote:Sure, give me a peak inside your processed meat byproducts

Cannot be a tablet
Must have touch screen
minimum 320 pixel wide screen
One of the major mobile OS (includes Symbian, MeeGo, Bada and weOS among others)
Minimal OS version for the respective OSes
Again: this definition of smartphone is bound to change *at ScientiaMobile's discretion* and *without* notice.
Thanks

No, that's actually perfect for my needs, thanks!
One thing, however: I'm getting is_smartphone = true for an iPad useragent.
Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B334b Safari/531.21.10
Maybe the version is too low?

Important Update: the definition of is_smartphone has changed in API 1.5 to support the notion that Smartphones will now handle Responsive Web Design sites properly enough.
