Mobile defragment

One of the most difficult aspect that developers and now even users face is, various types of mobile phones in the market. Each new handset has a list of features. The handset manufacturers highlight them to attract customers and the customer search for them to get the most features model in the market. As different manufactures build their own unique feature that cannot be found in other devices the fragmentation increases.
Screen size, mega pixel camera, supported flash cards and so mush more that are listed in the feature list of a specific model.
Developer face the challenge to support all these fragmented handsets. So often we find that same application has different versions for specific handsets.
Thankfully there are some tools that address these needs. WURFL is one of the most popular open source initiative to create XML based capabilities of specific models.
Another swing based java application which use WURFL is mDevInf.
These tools allow developer to get all the information needed for different mobile phones.
