iPad renders as mobile #10

I think the iPad is 50/50.  How would you go about omitting iPad from mobile 
detection?

There is no "standard" of what should be mobile or not... what is 
http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/ suggesting? However maybe we can introduce 
another variable like isTablet? So for instance the iPad will give: 
isMobile=true and isTablet=true, the question then will be how do we define 
tablet ? something with a A5 like format?

I don’t have an enormous amount of experience writing web sites for mobile, 
iPad and desktop, but for the sites I have done, iPad has been much closer to 
desktop than mobile.

I kind of wish the user-agent string included the max-width string you can 
interogate via media queries. iPhone and iPad generally need specific design 
considerations because they’re a fixed canvas, unlike desktop browsers. 
Generally, the iPad’s larger canvas works just fine for desktop-designed 
sites.
