Identifying Android devices

[eluser]russ_kern[/eluser]
As I understand it (acccording to googledata.org) these 2 basic strings differentiate between large format (tablet) devices and handhelds.

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2.1; en-us; Nexus One Build/FRG83) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1


Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2.1; en-us; device Build/FRG83) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/533.1

The distinguishing point is "Mobile Safari" vs. just "Safari"

in the second example the word "device" would be replaced with the actual device it is running on.
