Announced wednesday by Fujitsu (i can not read it ;-) the FP code is included within a picture (almost invisible).

Via la rivière aux canards

GURFL file is a list of operators and their associated IP address ranges. This is a good way to find out from which carrier (ie. which country) does a request come from.

You can find it here

This file is currently “under construction”

I knew this day would come, did not expect it that fast and certainly not because of a flaw.
Browsers on mobile are becoming more and more powerful and a direct consequence is that making a difference between them and a desktop browser seems to be less and less useful (even though it will “always” make sense). I am surprised it comes that early, and even more it comes because of a flaw from Nokia engineers: I realised recently that mobile browsers embedded in some recent Nokia’s phone identified themself in the user-agent string as
“Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)”
ie. as a desktop browser. This is actually how the Open Source browser from Nokia identified itself and this browser is currently shipped on some Series 60 3rd edition and Series 90 phones.

That means you can not detect the request comes from a mobile device, you can not find out device properties with tool like WURFL,… Other mechanism have to be implemented to give access to a mobile version of a website (like the “social” mechanism, ie go on xxx/mobile)

More on that later…

Unfortunately the problem arise when you click on a link… the target website is not adapted to mobile device and you end up downloading a very heavy page that does not display well (if at all).
Useless on my phone.

Dave Winer seems also to be intersted by the mobile world since he bought a blackberry. He has put together YoMoBlog.com (QR Code)a service that lets you publish on your blog via a web interface using the MetaWeblog API.
He tries also to “mobilize” a few blogs: GigaOM, MicroPersuasion, Scripting (his own blog). In my opinion taking out css and removing some elements is not enough to claim those compatible for mobile. At the very best they are “Blackberry” friendly. What about the pictures ? what about the size/weight of the pages ?
Dave Winer identified the issue:

What’s coming next must be a web that works for mobile users, where we never click a link to a page designed to be rendered on a big-screen.

If the end result is not as good as expected and/or not so useful, those two examples put a little bit more the mobile web on stage…
