Online, December 16, 2011 (Newswire.com) - 51Degrees.mobi offer two robust and reliable solutions - the first, Lite Data, is a free, entry-level device file to meet basic mobile detection requirements using the Mozilla Public License, whilst the second, Premium Data, provides a rich set of parameters including;physical screen size, input type, recommend button size and weekly updates, which will cost an annual fee.
