Obsolete WURFL Capabilities

WURFL was designed in 2001 when the web and mobile were very different. As such, the majority of the capabilities WURFL contains have not proven relevant to businesses who've migrated to 51Degrees. Such capabilities are considered obsolete for this reason and are listed at the bottom of this page. Examples include:

  • Capabilities related to iMode which have been replaced by modern smartphones.
  • Manufacturer specific capabilities that are no longer significant (Siemens, Sagem, Nokia, etc)
  • Media formats that are no longer used.
  • Specific J2ME platform information which has been surpassed by platforms like Android, iOS and Windows Phone.
  • Markup specifications that are no longer considered relevant such as WML, XHTML and CHTML.
