checking mobble sites by user string agents

    How do I check if mobble is really working on the changes I have implemented on my site?

    I can only manage changing user agent string using my browser to check. I noticed that I only get detections from handheld or a desktop/laptop. I don’t see changes that are meant for tablets (shows as handheld) and tablet (also detected as handheld).

    I don’t have any actual devices at hand to actually check the appearance of my site.

    Thanks in advance.

    I must have not understood how the plugin works.

    So I made some PHP code. 

    <?php if ( is_handheld() ) : ?>
		<p style="background: #eee; margin: 0;">I am a handheld.</p>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<?php if ( is_mobile() ) : ?>
		<p style="background: #eee; margin: 0;">I am a mobile.</p>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<?php if ( is_tablet() ) : ?>
		<p style="background: #eee; margin: 0;">I am a tablet.</p>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<?php if ( is_ios() ) : ?>
		<p style="background: #eee; margin: 0;">I am an iOS.</p>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<p style="background: #eee; margin: 0;">If you don't see any identity, then I'm probably a giant computer.</p>

    When checked against a user agent like this below:

    Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.4; Series60/5.0 NokiaN97-1/10.0.012; Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1; en-us) AppleWebKit/525 (KHTML, like Gecko) WicKed/7.1.12344

    The output was:

    I am a handheld.
    I am a mobile.
    If you don’t see any identity, then I’m probably a giant computer.

    So there. I finally understand that a handheld is a mobile as well. Or that a handheld is a tablet too (which corresponds to real-world definition of a handheld – where handhelds are composed of tablets and mobiles). ??

    Thanks for the wonderful plugin by the way. You rock! ??
