Handset Detection – Jan/Feb 2010 updates

Published February 3, 2010 by Richard

A few weeks ago we launched our new green themed website along with a raft of changes and tweaks. Here’s a quick overview of the new stuff.

Profile

Deep down, at the bottom of the Profile Settings page, you can find Quota Alerts. Quota alerts will notify you by email as your account approaches its monthly detection quota.  Alerts default to On and are set at 90% threshold. Checks are performed hourly, so if you’re in the middle of a super large volume spike then its best to drop your ideal threshold by a few percent.

We’ve also made it super easy to configure the API kits with a configuration file you can download straight from your Profile page (Its down the bottom in the Get Connected section, Note : The PHP API kit only at the moment, coming to the other kits shortly).

Analytics

We’ve improved device segmentation and added Operating Systems and Screen Size as sorting options. Click on the relevant links, ie the screen size or the operating system for more information and a full device breakdown.

Section overviews now compare the top 5 devices. Click the check boxes in the legend to toggle graphing on or off for any particular data set (like devices / countries etc..). Plus snazzy new graphs individual devices and aggregate data sets.

The single largest piece of feedback we received last year was, This thing looks great, but how do i use it ?

We’ve taken many of your comments and suggestions on board. We’ve re-designed, re-branded and re-jigged everything to make Handset Detection an easy and enjoyable experience. We hope you like the new look but more importantly that you find what you need in places you expect.

If you have any comments and suggestions then please let us know, below. We’re all ears.
