Description

As the title. We need to keep the basic $is_this, $is_that globals for back-compat but can introduce another global that would hold all needed info about the current web browser, device, versions, etc.

Have you considered ​WURFL? It looks like the code is AGPL, but the data file has a new license, so I'm not sure if it's compatible with WordPress' license.

Replying to kurtpayne:

Yes, that was one of the first places I checked. It seems we are "explicitly forbidden" to use their xml data file, so I didn't download it. However it seems one individual can install the app (WURFL), update the data file and test our browser detection with it.
