itouch safari vs iphone safari

Yes, I did finally get my ipod, after a week of watching other people who didn’t pre-order play with theirs. I’m not bitter though. One thing I’ve noticed is that the iPhone version of Safari and the iTouch version are slightly different, and report themselves as being a different client. Take a look at these logs:

192.168.1.119 - - [24/Sep/2007:15:56:49 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1296 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (iPod; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/3A100a Safari/419.3"

192.168.1.115 - - [24/Sep/2007:15:56:53 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1296 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1C28 Safari/419.3"

This sucks. Especially when people like google announce that they’ve optimized google calendar for the iphone, but it doesn’t work on the ipod.
