iPad version detection in JavaScript

Question

Is it possible to check for the iPad version (1 or 2) in a web application? As the user agent looks identical (see http://www.webtrends.com/Support/KnowledgeBase/SolutionDet

Answer 1

Sorry but currently there is no difference between iPad and iPad 2.

See, there is no difference between the two of them:

iPad:
　Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 4_3 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8F190 Safari/6533.18.5

iPad2:
　Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 4_3 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8F191 Safari/6533.18.5

And notice there, that the versions there are constantly changing in iOS updates.

UPDATE

Looks like there is a difference between them:

iPad:
  Mobile/8F190

iPad 2:
  Mobile/8F191

iPad 3:
  Mobile/9B176 (according to Philipp)
