add feature to determine largest possible image width
Reported by Liam Morley (carpeliam) | July 26th, 2008 @ 07:20 PM
i'm new to web programming for mobiles, but it seems like there are a number of different resolutions to have to program for. Most phones will resize images if they're too large for the screen, though they might not look as nice, and they won't be optimized bandwidth-wise. it'd be nice if mobile_fu could report the largest image size available for the given platform.
this information is available at http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/ in the form of an xml doc. there's a ruby library for working with WURFL, but I'm not sure how useful it would be.

Some mobile browsers actually have their resolutions in their user agent string. Liam, I'll try take a look at this tonight.

Hi Brendan,
Great plugin.!! It helped me save a lot of effort so thanks for that..
Im relatively new to ROR and even im looking for a way to fing out the maximum screen width for a particular user agent so i can insert appropriately sized images without them being stretched or compressed. Please tell me how to go about it.
Thanks,
Ankit
