Detect more mobile phones, mobile devices, consoles

[matt]

We can detect more mobile phones, consoles, etc. in Piwik We can build a simple plugin that lists all the user agent flagged as "unknown" in the logs. We can then use this tool to add new Operating Systems / Browsers in the related files ( http://dev.piwik.org/trac/browser/trunk/core/DataFiles)

Here's the UserAgent string from an iPhone:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 2_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/525.18.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.1 Mobile/5G77 Safari/525.20

Some lists: -  http://www.user-agents.org/ -  http://www.zytrax.com/tech/web/mobile_ids.html -  http://www.zytrax.com/tech/web/browser_ids.htm

Maybe some integration with  URFL could provide an extension of the browser header functionality

see also  http://chrisschuld.com/projects/browser-php-detecting-a-users-browser-from-php/ for lists.

one idea from this page: we could execute the code on a list of 100s of user agents and check for the accuracy of algorithm.
