Frequently Asked Questions

Does Mobile Zoo contains all mobile models available around the world?

No. Collecting every single existing mobile in the world will take time. This detection process requires handset owners to download and use MobileZoo Hunter or any MobileZoo compliant application. By doing this, the handset is analyzed and its genome is uploaded to one of our servers, thus completing the collection.

Does MobileZoo's capable of detecting any handset?

MobileZoo is capable of analysing any existing and upcoming handset so that you get all valuable information you need to take decision.

Meanwhile, not all model handset does contain manufacturer and/or model reference. This is why some handsets are labelled "Unknown" or "Not yet detected".
This does not mean that they won't never be detected in the future. The team here is continuously working on new analysis methods that could improve the detection stage. As a consequence, we regularly release new versions.

Can I include MobileZoo technology in my J2me application or game?
