dotMobi announced it is now accepting applicants into beta trials for a new edition of DeviceAtlas
mobile device database designed for developers building sites with Microsoft ASP.NET.
With
DeviceAtlas for Microsoft ASP.NET, developers using ASP.NET 2.0 and
above will be able to easily expand their sites to embrace mobile
audiences as well as PC-based users. DeviceAtlas for Microsoft ASP.NET
will seamlessly replace Microsoft profiles with this new web-based
service.
Trey Harvin, CEO of dotMobi said, "Finding new and exciting
ways to open the mobile channel to the developer community is one of
dotMobi's ongoing goals. DeviceAtlas for Microsoft ASP.NET
significantly expands options for site developers. Today, ASP.NET
supports approximately 400 mobile devices. With DeviceAtlas for
Microsoft ASP.NET, developers will have access to information on more
than 4,500 mobile devices with monthly, weekly or even daily updates
which they will be able to use seamlessly with ASP.NET mobile
controls."
"General availability of DeviceAtlas for Microsoft ASP.NET is scheduled for April 2009," said Paul Nerger, vice president
of Advanced Services and Applications at dotMobi. "To help us prepare, we're actively seeking applicants for beta trials of
the service. Interested developers should go to http://deviceatlas.com/aspnet to apply."
