<para>
Once the User-Agent has been parsed and capabilities retrieved from the <link
linkend="zend.http.user-agent-features">Features adapter</link>, you will be
returned an object that represents the discovered brower device. This interface
describes the various capabilities you may now introspect.
</para>
<para>
Additionally, the various device classes define algorithms for matching the devices they
describe. By implementing this interface, you may provide additional logic around these
capabilities.

<para>
The static function <methodname>match()</methodname> should be used to determine whether
the provided User-Agent and environment (represented by the <varname>$server</varname>
variable) match this device. If they do, the <classname>Zend_Http_UserAgent</classname>
class will then create an instance of the class, passing it the User-Agent,
<varname>$server</varname> array, and any configuration available; at this time, it is
expected that the Device class will consult with a features adapter, if present, and
populate itself with discovered capabilities.
</para>
<para>
In practice, you will likely extend
<classname>Zend_Http_UserAgent_AbstractDevice</classname>, which provides functionality
around discovering capabilities from the User-Agent string itself, as well as
discovering and querying a <link linkend="zend.http.user-agent-features">Features
adapter</link>.

You may wish to direct the user to specific areas of your site based on features
supported by the device they are using. For instance, if a particular app works only
in Flash, you might direct a non-Flash-capable device to a page indicating the
application will not work on their device; or for a device not capable of HTTPS, you
may indicate certain actions, such as purchases, are not available.

<title>Dynamically Scaling Images</title>
<para>
You may wish to alter the image sizes present in order to achieve a specific design
within mobile devices. You may use a variety of methods in the device object to make
this happen.
</para>

</example>
<note>
<title>Markup- based scaling is not ideal</title>
<para>
Markup-based scaling such as in the example above is not the best approach, as
it means that the full-sized image is still delivered to the device. A better
approach is to pre-scale your images to a variety of sizes representing the
devices you wish to support, and then using the device capabilities to determine
which image to use.
