The Apple iPad is now being sold in the United States. Some of our mobile affiliates have asked us how to identify iPad traffic on their sites. All you need to do is examine the user agent string in the HTTP header.

Here is the user agent string of the new Apple iPad:

Mozilla/5.0(iPad; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B367 Safari/531.21.10

Please note that the numbers refer to software versions and are subject to change.
