Mobile Device Capability Database

It’s been a few years since I’ve done any mobile development, and it seems like things have moved on. But one of the hardest problems I faced was finding out what devices supported what APIs. It looks like WURFL is trying to solve this problem:

The WURFL is an XML configuration file which contains information about capabilities and features of several wireless devices.

The main scope of the file is to collect as much information as we can about all the existing wireless devices that access WAP pages so that developers will be able to build better applications and better services for the users.
