Hi folks,
this morning I went through this interesting project called
Open Source Mobile Phone Detection . This web site does not only recognize if a mobile phone is surfing on it but it provides a great set of open source scripts to detect them.
Basically it provides a great regular expression within all (?, well I am not sure about "all") the mobile user agents. The following code is the php version (click on the image to expand it).
As you might see the code is simple and clear. The core of the script is the following regular expression:

I believe it is a great open source project especially for web-masters who need to know exactly who is surfing on their web sites.
