Comment (by avcascade):

 Not sure if this nag alert feature is considered finished yet, but I think
 it needs more work.

 On my BlackBerry PlayBook, when I log into my WP 3.2 test site, I get a
 warning to upgrade to the next version of Safari. Obviously, I can't do
 that, since I'm not even running Safari in the first place.

 A lot of people use Research in Motion (RIM) devices, whether BlackBerry
 smartphones or the new PlayBook. Those folks shouldn't be seeing a message
 telling them to upgrade Safari. Is it possible to build in support for
 RIM's WebKit-based browser in the code that does the browser detecting?

 Here's the User-Agent string a typical PlayBook would report:

 {{{

 Mozilla/5.0 (PlayBook; U; RIM Tablet OS 1.0.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.8+
 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version /0.0.1 Safari/534.8+
 }}}
