Is detected by http://detectmobilebrowsers.com as a mobile browser, I also tried Youtube, Stackoverflow and Twitter and all detected it as a mobile browser.

And as we are freeriding on MeeGo instead of Android or IOS the risk for an app popup is very low and sites that have cared for an MeeGo app is probably fast to update their checking so we are detected separately.

When browser is run on a tablet instead of a phone Mobile should be replaced with Tablet to make it easy for web developers to create separate interfaces for phone, tablet and desktop.

We should also push big sites to start accepting an UA without MeeGo so that we eventually can skip that.
