= is_it_mobile

* http://rubyforge.org/projects/contentfree/

== DESCRIPTION:

Simply determines if a user agent is for a mobile device.


== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

* Fast & Lightweight (doesn't use anything like WURFL, which would be overkill for a quick check)
* Comes with a module for Rails 2.0 to enable a custom mime type handler for mobile devices


== SYNOPSIS:

The lightweight tests used in IsItMobile are almost completely based on the work of Andy Moore in an 
article at http://www.andymoore.info/php-to-detect-mobile-phones/. I added a couple more
user agents to the mix and obviously Rubified it.

It recognizes 99% of the mobile user agents from http://www.zytrax.com/tech/web/mobile_ids.html
It has nearly no false positives using the user agents from http://www.zytrax.com/tech/web/browser_ids.htm
The ones that don't quite pass are very rare (and some are even questionable appearing in their respective lists)

With Rails 2.0, you can use its multiview capabilities by simply adding this to your app:
- in config/initializers/mime_types.rb
Mime::Type.register_alias "text/html", :mobile

- in app/controllers/application.rb
require 'is_it_mobile'
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include IsItMobile::ForRails
end

Then, just create your views using suffices of mobile.erb instead of html.erb

You can also just use IsItMobile directly:
IsItMobile.mobile? 'NokiaN90-1/3.0545.5.1 Series60/2.8 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1'     # => true


== REQUIREMENTS:

* None


== INSTALL:
