WURFL, or the Wireless Universal Resource File, if an XML file maintained over at SourceForge that covers a large amount of data for a large number of devices.  It includes data such as user-agent, various HTML, XHTML, cHTML capabilities, bugs, J2ME attributes, ringer formats, wallpaper formats, and many other pieces of data.  I doubt I have to describe how useful data like this can be, so I won't bother.
