#### About
Mobile Detect is a lightweight PHP class for detecting mobile devices (including tablets).
It uses the User-Agent string combined with specific HTTP headers to detect the mobile environment.
*Why*
Your website's _content strategy_ is important! You need a complete toolkit to deliver an experience that is _optimized_,
_fast_ and _relevant_ to your users. Mobile Detect class is a
[server-side detection](http://www.w3.org/TR/mwabp/#bp-devcap-detection) tool that can help you with your RWD strategy,
it is not a replacement for CSS3 media queries or other forms of client-side feature detection.
*How*
We're committed to make Mobile_Detect the best open-source mobile detection resource and this is why before
each release we're running [unit tests](./tests) and research and update the detection rules on **monthly** basis.
*Who*
See [the history](./docs/HISTORY.md) of the project.
#### Announcements
