dotMobi Updates DeviceAtlas Database of Mobile Device Attributes

DUBLIN, Ireland and WASHINGTON, April 28 /PRNewswire/ --

- Information on more than 5,000 devices soon to be available in
comprehensive database of global mobile handset information

dotMobi, the company behind .mobi -- the first and only Internet address
designed specifically for mobile phones -- today unveiled forthcoming updates
to the recently launched DeviceAtlas, which is the definitive global source
of mobile handset information for mobile content developers.

By mid-April 2008, DeviceAtlas will include data from mobile Internet
solution providers Argogroup and Volantis, bringing the total number of
devices covered to more than 5,000. The new data adds a wide variety of U.S.
and Japanese handsets to DeviceAtlas as well as attribute information on
leading-edge mobile devices like the Apple iPhone, the RIM Blackberry Pearl,
the Nintendo DS Lite and the Amazon Kindle.

"DeviceAtlas is continually growing and being updated, and these upcoming
additions are definitely a proof point of that," said Paul Nerger, Vice
President of Advanced Services and Applications, dotMobi. "It's also exciting
to see the number of developers who have quickly adopted DeviceAtlas for
their work."

At the launch of DeviceAtlas in February 2008, dotMobi announced it would
provide one free DeviceAtlas Developer Edition license to every member of the
http://dev.mobi developer forum; in the past month, the free dev.mobi forum
has grown to more than 11,000 members. And in the six weeks since launch,
hundreds of those mobile developers have taken advantage of that offer and
are using DeviceAtlas to create "device aware" content for the widest
possible variety of mobiles.

"But that's only the beginning," said James Pearce, dotMobi's Vice
President of Technology. "In the very near future, dotMobi will introduce a
mobile phone testing suite as part of the DeviceAtlas that allows us to
exercise and confirm each device's capabilities. This will result in better
data for developers to build 'device aware' content."

Pearce added, "We're preparing to add device information from DeviceAtlas
into our very popular mobile readiness testing tool at http://ready.mobi.
This will let ready.mobi to do better device simulation on a wider variety of
phones. Developers will be able to see how their content will display on a
very wide variety of mobile phones along with a report on how they can
correct any errors if their sites are not displaying correctly."

More information on DeviceAtlas -- including the free Web-based version
and free, fully licensed version for developers -- is available at
http://deviceatlas.com on PCs and http://deviceatlas.mobi on mobiles.
