dotMobi announces plans to create a definitive databased of mobile handset information from across the world. The database is scheduled to launch at the end of 2007 and will provide structured data and specific information on mobile browsers etc for the developer community.
From the press release
Reinhard Kreft, Vodafone’s Global Head of Industry Initiatives and Standardisation, said, “Vodafone is excited to see dotMobi take on this initiative. Given dotMobi’s unique industry position at the crossroads between the internet and the mobile phone, it is appropriate that dotMobi leads the way for developers to easily deploy mobile content.”
“dotMobi has long recognized the challenges facing mobile developers who want to ensure that their services work well on a range of mobile phones,” said Neil Edwards, CEO of dotMobi, “As the company at the core of the mobile internet, we have both the responsibility and the skill to help bring accurate, reliable, community-driven intelligence about mobile handsets to developers. This will allow developers to craft sites and services that cater for the broad portfolio of diverse handsets around the globe, regardless of the phone those users own.”
What we think?
As I am not a developer, I am not sure of how necessary or relevant this information is. So I called up a friend that works for Samsung and he said, “its cool”. So there you go!
