Nicely done. I like the name and the approach.
Is accuracy a problem? My understanding is that there are operators that configure devices to obscure the true user agent.

Hi eli,
concerning devices (and networks, too) you are very right: It's pretty wild out there and it takes a lot of detail to make sense out of it.
Most of our device detection goes beyond the user-agent string to accurately detect devices. At the moment, we are able to identify 99,8% of devices, even if the request was proxied (via Opera, for example) or transcoded (via Novarra for example).

we just released PercentMobile, a simple analytics tool to help find out the percentage of mobile traffic to desktop websites.
Have a look at the sample report at http://percentmobile.com/percentmobile/report/32
We're still in a public beta, but if you want to start tracking your own website, use 'hackernews' (w/o the quotes) as the invite-code.
Your feedback is very welcome!
