You could use a PHP class, such as Ben Alman's Simple PHP Proxy / Github.

It let's you redirect cross-domain URL's in a variety of ways, including the following method to "change up" your User Agent....

user_agent - This value will be sent to the remote URL request as the
     `User-Agent:` HTTP request header. If omitted, the browser user agent
     will be passed through.

I use it to insert an iFrame - with the iPhone version of google voice - into any page, for example...

Some of the many other ways you can alter the request by using this script are...

   url - The remote URL resource to fetch. Any GET parameters to be passed
     through to the remote URL resource must be urlencoded in this parameter.
   mode - If mode=native, the response will be sent using the same content
     type and headers that the remote URL resource returned. If omitted, the
     response will be JSON (or JSONP).  and 
     are disabled by default, see  for more information.
   callback - If specified, the response JSON will be wrapped in this named
     function call. This parameter and  are disabled by
     default, see  for more information.
   send_cookies - If send_cookies=1, all cookies will be forwarded through to
     the remote URL request.
   send_session - If send_session=1 and send_cookies=1, the SID cookie will be
     forwarded through to the remote URL request.
   full_headers - If a JSON request and full_headers=1, the JSON response will
     contain detailed header information.
   full_status - If a JSON request and full_status=1, the JSON response will
     contain detailed cURL status information, otherwise it will just contain
     the `http_code` property.
