Update News

We've been busy creating new mobile products and services to benefit your business.

NEW

Professional Support

During the first half of 2011 we've seen a phenomenal increase in demand for support as more businesses deploy 51Degrees.mobi. In order to meet the demands of businesses deploying 51Degrees.mobi on critical production web sites we've created a Professional Support & Maintenance package.

NEW

During May 2011 we received over 41 million device details! Thank you.

From June 2011 we've started to summarise this information by month, country and manufacturer. Interactive charts are available for free, with more detailed information available to Professional Support subscribers and contributors of device details.

NEW

  • Better AutoSize control optimisation for different mobile devices.
  • Better support for iPad list controls.
  • Five standard themes added to ensure consistent look and feel.
  • Projects created with previous versions will automatically prompt to be upgraded to the latest installed version.
  • Complete control over the Calendar control look and feel.

But wait. That's not all.

  • In his blog post Murali Setty explains why iPad's inconsistent event model is a nightmare for mobile web developers and how 51Degrees.mobi solves these problems.
  • We've introduced support for Web Matrix, Umbraco and NuGet.
  • There's a short video showing how our image control speeds up a web site.
  • Read TCL's independent report finding a 9 times increase in web site performance on mobile compared to standard ASP.NET.

We hope you like what we're doing and look forward to your feedback.

Yours sincerely,

James Rosewell & the Team at 51Degrees.mobi
