just for comparison, here's the two strings I use. I've been using these for a while and they're probably dated. Searching for an updated version is how I found your Gist. I appreciate you sharing. I'm going to add the differences to mine. Feel free to do the same from these below if you see anything that might be useful:

public const string MobileBrowser = @"android.+mobile|avantgo|bada/|blackberry|blazer|compal|elaine|fennec|hiptop|iemobile|ip(hone|od)|iris|kindle|lge |maemo|midp|mmp|opera m(ob|in)i|palm( os)?|phone|p(ixi|re)/|plucker|pocket|psp|symbian|treo|up.(browser|link)|vodafone|wap|windows (ce|phone)|xda|xiino";

(edited: removed my copy of the second 'version' string. It was exactly like yours)
