Browscap

Browscap provides Drupal sites with statistics on browsers and a replacement for PHPs get_browser() function. The Mobile Theme module loads the right theme for mobile devices and requires Browscap to identify the devices. Use Browscap if you use the Mobile Theme module or want to analyse when you should start catering for mobile devices.

This review of Browscap is based on version 6.x-1.1. Install Browscap at least a month before you need the browser usage report so you get reliable statistics.

Administration

Reporting

Conclusion

There is not much use reporting user agents if you are not going to use the information. The Mobile Theme module gives you the quickest way to deliver special themes for handheld devices. you can also use the browser report to tune your robots control file.
