I'm afraid that one even leads to a dead link, server can't be found.

Besides, the example code from Eberhard has no relevance to DeviceMap or
the W3C DDR Standard I could spot in those sources.
Analysing UAAgent, sure, that is what a few other systems like 52Mobi do,
but those are not W3C DDR compliant either.

For the talk on Wed I prefer to focus on those and DeviceMap. Any actual
usage of its API (or where it's necessary the old OpenDDR precursors, the
compatibility of these, at least where both cover the DDR standard is also
an advantage I'll point out compared to proprietary and often expensive
closed-source products like WURFL[?]) or benchmarks around it aare highly
appreciated in addition to what I already presented before.

Thanks,
Werner
