Comment (by aaroncampbell):

 Sorry guys, I don't have an ipad, iphone, or Blackberry.  I did test with
 a bunch of different user-agent strings using
 [http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/ User Agent Switcher] a
 Firefox addon (which I imported a LOT of user agents into).

 It still have my test API up which you can use to give me specific User
 Agents that aren't working and I'll try to fix things up.

 http://xavisys.com/core/browse-happy/1.0/ Will give you info on the
 browser you are currently using
 http://xavisys.com/core/browse-happy/1.0/?useragent=_ will let you specify
 a different user-agent string to test

 However, When I put the PlayBook user agent from above in I get this:
 {{{
 "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+"

 array(5) {
   ["insecure"]=>
   bool(false)
   ["name"]=>
   string(6) "webkit"
   ["version"]=>
   string(5) "534.8"
   ["current_version"]=>
   string(0) ""
   ["upgrade"]=>
   bool(false)
 }
 }}}
 Which says that the browsers does not need an upgrade and is not insecure.
 The live API [http://api.wordpress.org/core/browse-
 happy/1.0/?useragent=Mozilla/5.0%20%28PlayBook;%20U;%20RIM%20Tablet%20OS%201.0.0
 ;%20en-
 US%29%20AppleWebKit/534.8+%20%28KHTML,%20like%20Gecko%29%20Version%20/0.0.1%20Safari/534.8+
 gave me similar results]

 I also tested with iPhone and iPad strings and got the same expected
 result (no upgrade needed):
 {{{
 Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_2_1 like Mac OS X; da-dk)
 AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8C148
 Safari/6533.18.5
 }}}
 {{{
 Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 4_3 like Mac OS X; en-us)
 AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8F190
 Safari/6533.18.5
 }}}
 {{{
 Mozilla/5.0 (iPod; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_1_1 like Mac OS X; en-us)
 AppleWebKit/528.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/7C145
 }}}

 I'm sure there are browsers the API doesn't treat properly, but as far as
 I can tell it DOES work as expected with the iPhone, iPad, and PlayBook.
