So within the field of device detection, there are two dimensions that are really important. One is the age of the different components, so that could be the model of the device, the operating system and the browser. People don't think in terms of what is the current version, they really want to know is this the latest version, or if it's not, how old it is. Those are sort of key dimensions. And then you've got the price band of the devices as well. So is it a high value device or a lower value device, or a mid-range device? And those are the absolutely crucial properties, effectively, that turn stale legacy user interfaces based on just names and version numbers or long lists of models of device.
