    Hayden there are many different phones and non phone devices that run Android, and I am pretty sure they each have their own user agent.

    I'd check wurfl if I were you.

    @hayden, MathiasTCK is correct, there are many different Android phones that might change the UA string depending on browser release. This is the user agent string [1] for Android Cupcake version. If you wanted to detect for Android, though, I would simply match on the "Android" string.
