DUBLIN, Ireland and WASHINGTON, August 26 /PRNewswire/ --

- Award-winning mobile development database from dotMobi now open for 
community input with read/write capability

dotMobi, the company behind dev.mobi -- the world's leading
cross-platform mobile developer forum -- today announced a preview release of
DeviceAtlas, version 2.0. With this release, the award-winning DeviceAtlas
moves from a "read-only" database to a "read-write" version with the
introduction of automated phone capability tests.

The thousands of developers who are already using the DeviceAtlas
database, available at deviceatlas.com, will now be able to perform real-time
testing of their mobile phones by visiting deviceatlas.mobi on their phone
Web browsers. Every time someone runs a test via deviceatlas.mobi, the
results will be published in the DeviceAtlas database.

"DeviceAtlas 2.0 gives the mobile Web developer community the ability to
test devices in a highly structured manner with test results being captured
immediately into the database. Structured tests produce the highest quality
of device attribute information, and this produces ongoing improvements in
the quality of the DeviceAtlas' data," said Paul Nerger, VP of Advanced
Services and Applications, dotMobi.

Visiting the test site at deviceatlas.mobi, users can provide user agent
details as well as add new device models and data directly into DeviceAtlas.
This last feature marks DeviceAtlas' growth into a true community-driven
product.

Trey Havin, CEO of dotMobi, said, "The database already is the largest
and highest quality device database on the planet due to its tremendous
amount of data from leading companies like Nokia, Vodafone, Telecom Italia
Mobile (TIM), Argogroup, Volantis, Mobizoft and Zandan. These version 2.0
enhancements will ensure that developers can also help improve quality by
filling in any holes to ensure DeviceAtlas allows the community to continue
creating 'device aware' content with the most up-to-date information
available."

More information on DeviceAtlas 2.0 -- including the free Web-based
version and free, fully licensed version for developers -- is available at
