    Hi,

    We have just launched a new service in Beta mode and i was hoping for some help to find some beta testers out there to trial the service. (its free to use). It is most relevant to people who have a website or manage a website for themselves or clients.

    Browse your way over to:

    http://www.handsetdetection.com/

    It is the first step in solving the mobile and web crossover issues which website owners / developers face when someone views their website from any device other than a normal computer (I-phone / mobile phone / PDA etc).


    For anyone who wants to take part in the beta trial, just clip the code supplied at our site into the backend of your website. Then, when someone visits your site, a live request is sent to us, and we return a result back to you on a live basis with details of the device, screen size, GEO IP, make, model and many other fields of information.

    From that point, you can do one of two things:

    1. Depending on the result returned, you can then display an appropriate view for the consumer i.e. A website that will fit their device’s screen size and UI which is controlled by the way in which they are browsing (i-phones suit touch screen menus, N95’s suit joystick controls and so on...)

    2. If option 1 is too much of a first leap, after you add the code into your website, you can just login to our online reporting system and view your traffic results based on device make, model, country, city etc... This would be a great first step in understanding whether you are getting traffic to your site from non traditional browsing devices.

    As I mentioned, we are in Beta stage, so we would value your feedback on this.

    Hope you get a chance to check it out. Also, if you know of anyone else who may be interested in participating in this Beta stage, I would be grateful if you could pass this message on...

    Regards,

    David Manjra

          Hi all, We had a very successful beta phase which is now complete.

          Moving forward, I thought you might find this report of interest... It is a free report released by www.handsetdetection.com every month and basically gives an insight into mobile web usage and in particular, which are the preferred handsets for consumers to surf the mobile web, by Country.

          If you are looking to better understand the growing mobile web sector, and the implications that this has on web marketing, design and development, the data is quite useful.

          You can check it out here http://bit.ly/RawReports

          Cheers
