I have seen a new Google user agent of late in my web server , heres the agent entry:

DoCoMo/1.0/N505i/c20/TB/W20H10 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +*www.google.com/bot.html)

Can someone throw more light on this.

DoCoMo is a telephone company yaar ...
I think someone browsed your site from mobile phone ..
Btw .. I saw entries of new Yahoo bot .. Yahoo Seeker .. on my site ..

Thanks for the info Batty.

Are u talking about Yahoo Feedseeker for RSS? If yes i use to get it about 2 months back and then 1 month back it stopped. Now its again coming.

Heard theres a MSN Seeker too making rounds. Maybe an indication of MSN RSS Search.

Anyways but why the phrase

"
(compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +*www.google.com/bot.html)
"

if its a regular user from DoCoMo browsing.

Code:
Unknown
YahooSeeker-Testing/v3.9 (compatible; Mozilla 4.0; MSIE 5.5; *search.yahoo.com/)

I have no clue about that DoCoMo one though ..
