Answer:

The question is targeting to test mobile device development experience as the most common server-side device detection practice is to examine the user agent.

According to Wikipedia user agent is a client application implementing a network protocol used in communications within a client–server distributed computing system.


For example, the user agent string for Internet Explorer Mobile is the following:


Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows Phone OS 7.0; Trident/3.1; IEMobile/7.0) <DeviceManufacturer>;<DeviceModel>


So, for example for Windows Phone 7, LG device the user agent would look like following:


Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows Phone OS 7.0; Trident/3.1; IEMobile/7.0) LG;LG-E900h
