Oh no! They really put Mac OS X in the user agent for a MOBILE! I can't
believe it!

I was trying to quickly and easily figure out how to distinguish between
mobiles and desktops and my thought was just to look for Windows NT or Mac
OS X.

Yes I know about WURFL but it's so much easier to go by exception than by a
rule...

sigh.

 Yep, someone had put it on their twitter page - interesting that the one
you posted in differs slightly, here's the one I found:

iPhone User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en)
AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A538a Safari/419.

Wonder why the vendor (419 vs. 419.3) differs slightly? Anyway, I loaded
up that RSS feed in Firefox using a user-agent spoofer and it loaded - but
it looks horrible! Obviously Apple aren't sticking to web standards :D
