Detecting a PDA

Hi,

This is a continuation of a previous post but my original question was
whether it is possible to detect whether the person viewing my site is using
a PC or a PDA.

All replies seemed to point to the fact that this was not possible. However
I have just noticed that Google automatically detects what browser you are
using, if I access it on my PDA I get a very different view. So if they can
do it then surely I can!!!

Thanks in advance for your response

yup
Server Side ASP.

Use InStr and
Request.ServerVariables("USER_AGENT")

to Search for the Palm OS.
