iPad user agent identification for webapps ?

[iempty]

Hello !

I'm wondering what is (if known) the iPad HTTP user agent for web app or internet websites to recognize it ?

For iPhone and iPod touch, in PHP, I used this code :

if( strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPhone') || strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPod') ){
      return TRUE;
    }

What about the iPad ?
I think it will be just 'iPad', but somebody can confirm this ??

Oh... and I forgot to tell you :

I need this info because I made a webapp called "iEmpty" (tap "iEmpty iPhone" on google should work) that allows to customize iPhone and iPod Touch with empty spaces on the springboard (like iBlank but without jailbreak needed)

I'm sure it will also work with the new iPad, but I first need to detect it in my code to allow the functionnality for this device.

See you !

I did a google search but from what I found it as simple as swapping the "if iPhone" for "if iPad". So I don't want to say confirmed but from what I found yes.

Hope this helps,

Oh Quick Question: What are you using for user interaction for the iPad? Using a Javascript Library?

Here's an actual iPad User-Agent, I just dug it out of some server logs.

Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B367 Safari/531.21.10

Looks like you should be fine just checking for "iPad".
