Possible alternative approach
Organise devices by their support for web standards; so to sort by rendering engine/layout engine/web browser engine which defines the capacity of the internet browser to interpret the HTML, CSS, JS, ...

As result could be reports on

 * major version of internet browsers (omitting the night builds solving security issues of the [GUI] etc)
 * OS

Platform by Devices (SmartPhone, HandHeld, WebTV, WorkStation ...)

 * 1) Mobile devices (all: phones, pda, game console, media player, etc)
 * 2) Mobile phones
 * 3) Phone type
 * 4) Feature phones (regular cellphones) with a tiny screen and a numeric keypad. These devices account for the vast majority of the market (at least 85% in some reports).
 * 5) Smartphones, in a range of form factors, typically with a mid-sized screen and a full A-Z keypad.
 * 6) Touch-screen phones (such as the iPhone) with a nearly device-sized screen and a true GUI driven by direct manipulation and touch gestures.
 * 7) Operating system (for example: Symbian, iPhone OS, Android, Windows mobile, linux, RIM, ...)
 * 8) Screen resolution (for example: 240x320, 240x400, 176x220, 128x160, 320x240, ...)
 * 9) Other (the list needs frequent updates)
