If you've ever developed web content for mobiles, you will know that finding a device database that's exhaustive and really provides the information you need to cover .mobi devices, is simply impossible!

DotMobi (The Mobi domain name operator) own and operate Deviceatlas.com and does it exactly what it says on the tin! With data from leading mobile players such as Nokia, Vodafone & Telecom Italia, it provides the webs most comprehensive guide to mobile devices and what code they do and don't like! Sign-up for developers is entirely free with a completely unlimited trial license.

Announcing Version 2.0 yesterday, the mobi domain name team are now allowing developers to not just read the data at Deviceatlas.com, but also actively contribute with their testing. When they test, deviceatlas.com will essentially record what did and didn't work on the particular handset and/or device continually improving and evolving the data that the mobi team store.

At Domainmonster.com we think the team have done a great job with this initiative and are particularly excited to see a domain name registry genuinely supporting the community they exist for! With Google, Microsoft and Nokia among the many heavyweights that back the mobi domain we guess its no surprise really!
