Here are some slide decks from the Breaking Development conference. I first noticed the conference by seeing tweets chock full of mobile information - #bdconf.
Here's another wrap up of the presentations along with featured quotes from each session.
A collection of tablet user agent strings. Please add in comments other strings or devices that should be added.

Windows tablets [source]
In Windows Vista, the user-agent string reported by Internet Explorer includes "Tablet PC 2.0" if, according to GetSystemMetrics(SM_TABLETPC), the device is a Tablet PC.
In Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, the user-agent string includes Tablet PC 1.7. The user-agent string looks something like the following: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; Tablet PC 2.0)I've been working on redesigning m.ocregister.com lately so I thought I'd share some resources and ideas for mobile website development. If you have a suggestion please add it in the comments!
