Does anybody know how to change the User-Agent sent by the browser? I have an N800 upgraded to OS2008. I have been reading about iPhone-optimized sites, specifically Google Reader and Calendar. Supposedly, they detect the iPhone User-Agent and give a special version of the site. I bet the iPhone-optimized version would work much better on the N800 than the normal version.

Wouldn't it be better if the N8x0 had it's own identity which could be detected by these sites -and- we notified these sites to detect it and provide similar optimized versions?

FYI The Google Mobile Reader link is http://www.google.com/reader/m/ available without messing with the user agent string.
