Hello all,
I am subscribed to this list but I have to admit that I read it when I have
some spare time (which happens very rarely). Sorry for joining a little late
the discussion!
Thanks to Kyle for the post to the WURFL site.
The reason why the WURFL lacks a lot of info about i-mode devices is because
when you ask an i-mode developer about what he's missing they will tell you,
most of the times, that the i-mode devices are all similar and when you
recognize the family (500, 900, etc) you know all about the device. The same
applies to DoJa or flashlite.
This is the reason why WURFL doesn't have much information about i-mode
devices.
Most notably we are missing information about download capabilities
(ringtones, wallpapers, etc).
If you have info about it and would like to see it in WURFL, just drop me an
email.
Is there anything that's missing? Come to wmlprogramming and make your
suggestion.
Are you working on a proprietary repository but would like to share it with
the community (and hopefully get submissions back)? Let me know.
WRT emoji, AFAIK they are all the same and you should find a list on the
DoCoMo site. NOTE that they are different depending on the region, European
emoji are not the same as the Japanese, but once you know the region they
are the same among all devices. WURFL has this information.
Kind Regards
