No more updating of this page.

I am disappointed. Really really large companies are using WURFL in some form, but they won't let me mention their names. Of course, there are loads of smaller companies who are OK to have their name associated to WURFL or even asking me to get their name on this page. Anyway, the point is that WURFL is by now an essential component that is enabling the Mobile Internet, and updating this list is time consuming and no longer much sense. If you are a big corporation which uses WURFL and you are OK with the world to know, please drop me (Luca Passani) a note...
