Tira Wireless’s vast device database is available to mobile developers via its new service, Tira modd.
It contains data on a whopping 17,211 unique device/operator combinations from more than 1,257 handset models offered by 54 manufacturers. Tira six years to accumulate the data, during which time it ported over 500 applications to create more than 30,000 unique builds.
Tira modd is available in three versions:
• Standard Edition: A downloadable client for Windows PCs, with advanced query and data export capabilities
• Enterprise Edition: An open API offered as a web service for developers looking to integrate the database into applications; it also includes an OEM option for customers that want to re-sell the data
• Go Mobile Edition: A web-based version, freely available to members of the Tira Go Mobile Community
Tira modd is also open, combining tools and processes to acquire, characterise and share mobile device data from around the world. Members of the developer community can therefore contribute data to Tira modd on an ongoing basis.
