Nice, I've been running tests on my end too and have identified a few areas 
where accuracy can be improved. I have a fix in mind which will support a 
limited set of regex without too much extra complexity. I will try and get this 
committed in the next few days. Still would like to get more test data.

As for desktop browsers, I think its a reasonable ask to support them and not 
too difficult to identify them.

Hi,

the test is running...

While I cannot agree with "recommend people use a "proper" browser",
Werner does raise an important point with regard to 'desktop'-browsers.

Referring to the first 'Aside' in my
http://www.ducis.net/Static/dm_flow.html where I 'define' "device" in
the context of DDR (repeated here below), I do not think
desktop-browsers should be included in the resolver-functionality of a
DDR.
If an user-agent string comes out as 'unknown' it means the device is
unknown to the current repository *or* that it is not a 'device'.
Deciding whether the 'unknown' is actually a unknown device or a
desktop, I am convinced should be handled in 'post-production' so to
speak, by a more 'classic' actual parser.

But this is a separate 'debate' I'm sure we'll come to, let's first
see where Reza's DeviceMapClient takes us.

Test still running :-)
