Dear Gavin, Welcome to our group, and thanks for the introduction. I would like to introduce the work of this group a bit more in details. its home page is at http://www.w3.org/2008/MW4D/ our focus is the use of mobile technologies in developing countries, and particularly in the Socio-economic development sector. Given your particular interest, and your technical questions, i would recommend you also follow the public-bpwg list (see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg/ ). You would surely find there more people that could answer your technical questions, particularly around device detection, and device description repository.
