Two new capabilities: marketing_name and model_extra_info   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #28690 of 31579 |
People,

after careful evaluation, I decided to add two capabilities
(product_info group)

marketing_name and model_extra_info

the point is that there are many device variations around. Very often
the same device is rebranded and sold with a different name by different
operators and/or manufacturer (Andrew Davidson made the point clear with
his postings about HTC devices):

I have already added the description of the capabilities in the docs:

http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/help_doc.php#product_info

*marketing_name* string In addition to Brand and Model, some devices
have a marketing name (for ex: BlackBerry 8100 *Pearl*, Nokia 8800
*Scirocco*, Samsung M800 *Instinct*).
*model_extra_info* string In addition to Brand and Model (and possibly
a marketing name), some may be characterized by extra info (es: Nokia
N95 *8GB*, Sharp 902SH *Vodafone*).


wrt HTC, I am thinking of establishing the convention where the HTC
device is the "_ver1" actual_device_root=true representative, while all
other subbrands (imate, dopod, t-mobile, whatever) are added through
fall-back.

Luca
