4Description
5-----------
6Parses a mobile user agent string into it's basic constituent parts, the
7most important being vendor and model.
8
9One reason for doing this would be to use this information to lookup
10vendor-model specific device characteristics in a database. You can use also
11use user agent profiles to do this (for which I've developed other classes),
12but not all mobile phones have these, especially the older types.
13Another reason would be to detect if the visiting client is a mobile handset.
14
15Only real mobile user-agent strings can be parsed succesfully by this class.
16Most WAP emulators are not supported because they usually don't use the same
17user-agent strings as the devices they emulate.
