dotMobi is happy to announce that we’ve just released version 3.2 of DeviceAtlas. This version introduces many new Web-focused properties that let developers fully harness the power of mobile devices with both DeviceAtlas Enterprise and DeviceAtlas Cloud.
We’ve also extended the property set of DeviceAtlas Cloud Premium to include all of the multimedia properties, making the property set at par with DeviceAtlas Enterprise.
The major focus for these new properties is HTML5, which allows advanced Web apps to be completely optimized and provide a faster, richer experience for end users. Having these properties on the server side means fewer requests for the client and less content that has to be sent. It’s a win-win on both sides!
We’ve also introduced a number of standard JavaScript properties that nicely complement the HTML5 set. Many devices, especially non-smart phones, have inconsistent support for JavaScript. These properties take the guesswork out and allow appropriate content to be sent to all users.
The other new property of note is Display PPI. This returns the pixel density for a device’s screen and can be used with the resolution properties to produce images that look sharp on any screen. Many new devices are being introduced with high-resolution “retina” displays, so it is becoming increasingly important to take pixel density into account when resizing images for devices.
This release also brings a new mobile site, built using the award-winning goMobi platform and full access to the Data Explorer for all registered users.
All of the new properties can be found listed on the property pages in our Resource Center.
