Sure. You have to use the user agent.

You have something like

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 1.5; en-us; Galaxy Build/CUPCAKE)
AppleWebKit/528.5+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.2 Mobile Safari/525.20.1

for Android

and something like

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102
Firefox/3.5.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

from the normal Firefox browser.
