The latest company to buy the 51Degrees.mobi device detection service is mobile web specialist Netbiscuits.

There are now over 1.3 million websites using 51Degrees.mobi to provide mobile and tablet visitors with a tailored experience.

Device detection and web optimisation business 51Degrees.mobi has expanded its portfolio of solutions to include PHP support.

This means developers and owners of PHP-based web sites can now discover whether the visiting device is a tablet, whether it’s a smart phone and what the screen size is before automatically adjusting the online content.

Web site building and content management specialist DotNetNuke Corp. has announced a licensing agreement with 51Degrees.mobi.

DotNetNuke is going to integrate the 51Degrees.mobi Device Description Repository into all editions of DotNetNuke 6, simplifying the development of mobile websites for all DotNetNuke users.

If you want a big money story from the last few days, you want Apple. The company announced its highest quarterly revenue ever, hitting $46.33 billion (£29.66 billion) with record quarterly profits of $13.06 billion. That’s probably enough money to buy the moon, assuming Newt Gingrich is prepared to sell it – or, in the real world, is one of the biggest quarterly profits ever.

James Rosewell introduces the 51Degrees.mobi Mobile Trends 2011 white paper, explaining how Apple's share of mobile web browsing is apparently falling. We also discuss several other mobile web trends in the document, which covers Europe, the USA and India.

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long.
