Android Tablet Identified As Desktop

[JefferyD]

I am trying to add device specific logic using the GetContext service, and it's working for both Chrome on my desktop and the Android app on my phone, but the Android app via my tablet is coming back as "Desktop". Is there a reliable way to know if a mobile device or the app is being used?

When I use the GetHttpData service, I see the different user agents and, seemingly in situations where the Android app is used, "x-requested-with" with a value of "com.krisesystems.easyprocess". Would any of this be consistent enough to parse and reliably determine if the user is using a mobile device/app or not?

A task 10355 is created. We will return DeviceType = Tablet in GetContext service.
RWDVisibility will be expanded to support : All, DesktopAndTablet (previously Desktop), Desktop, Tablet, Phone.
