Seems like there's an opportunity here for a web service where you
submit the user-agent on first page view and get back information
about the mobile device in question (or that its not a mobile device).
You can then cache this information in a cookie so that subsequent
page views don't go through the detection service as long as the user
agent text doesn't change.

That way the painful logic of identifying mobile devices could be
centralized into a single location and everyone would benefit.
