Hello Nadav,
Welcome to the ASP.NET mobile newsgroup.
As for the Mobile Device updates for ASP.NET mobile application, it is
still supported and will be continually updated for the ASP.NET 2.0 or
furture version. Actually, the device updates are some profile and
configuration info specific to those common devices, these settings are not
specific to .net framework or ASP.NET version. So the devices info in the
deviceds update for 1.1 still can be used for ASP.NET 2.0 MOBILE
application. The difference between ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0 is the
device/browser capability configuration structuer has changed. In ASP.NET
1.1, the browser/device profile info is stored in the <browserCap> section
in machine.config and the device update will also update that section (or
use external linked file). In ASP.NET 2.0, due to community member's
feedback, the dev team has changed the browser setting back to the
".browser" file model, and you can find those existing browser templates in
the following framework dir:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\Browsers
Here is a good tech article mentioned the browserCap setting from
pre-ASP.NET web app to ASP.NET 1.X and ASP.NET 2.0:
Creating a Custom Browser Setup with ASP.NET 2.0
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_zddvs/is_200503/ai_n13486220
Therefore, in ASP.NET 2.0, we can choose to update new device/browser info
through a .browser file in the "Browsers" folder:
Also, ASP.NET product team has provided a web based service to let us
create a custom device profile, you can access the service from the
following link:
#ASP.NET Device Profiling

For existing or future device updates for ASP.NET mobile application, you
can closely monitor the following location:

In addition, if you have any particular request or comments about the our
visual studio or .net framework products, welcome to post them in our
feedback center(you can submit some suggestion about the future device
update there):

Hope this helps.
