Mobile Device Capabilities
ASP.NET provides an extensible mechanism for identifying a mobile client device, and for making the information available to the ASP.NET page framework and the ASP.NET mobile Web application. Like the HttpBrowserCapabilities class, the MobileCapabilities class provides information about the browser making the request. This section explains these device capabilities, and how you can use them to customize your application for specific mobile devices.
