I cannot find any previous question about this, apologies if it's a duplicate.
According to Google webmaster, android tables should not be detected as mobile devices. What they suggest is to detect "mobile" in the string as well as android.
Does/will HTTP::BrowserDetect do anything about this?

@mauro76 It looks like Android will be flagged as mobile across the board. Thanks for bringing this up. I will leave the issue open for the time being. I'd also like to refer you to this comparison of UserAgent parsing modules so that you can make an informed choice about which parsing module might best suit your needs:

This was fixed a while back. Guess I forgot to close the issue. :)
