Err...

1) You can change useragents on both the tablets and computer
2) You can run an alternative operating system on the tablets (e.g. debian that has its own browsers.
3) Other browsers (e.g. fennec).

They can speculate but in the end since the n900 and the previous tablets are more computer than smartphone there's no reliable way to differentiate them.
