Over time, more desktops are detecting as "mobile"... #70

Description

@ursomniac

We've used this package on a site (American Experience) and while it's done a great job for several years, we're getting complaints from some users that their browser is being detected as mobile when it's not. The frequency of these complaints is increasing with time. I've checked the lists in MobileDetectionMiddleware (middeware.py) and it doesn't appear to have changed...

Of course user complaints aren't providing information like "Oh and BTW, my user agent is [this] in case it helps" :-) so tracking down the offending user agent string(s) has not been successful.

Has anyone else experienced this effect? Has anyone made adjustments to the regex lists that improve accuracy? I'd appreciate any wisdom/suggestions...
