It looks like Safari presents itself as:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 6_1_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0 Mobile/10B329 Safari/8536.25

While the others as:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 6_1_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/10B329

The "Safari" string could be used to display a warning to the user (if missing)

Of course in version 1.1 we will have server-side system recognition therefore the user would be shown the proper download link at once.

Hi,

If you use an iPhone you can test this at cat.eduroam.pl - small
"Download" link under the big button.
Hm, I see. Well then we're running astoundingly short on options. I
think the only thing we can do is document that Safari should be used;
and an advice for those who put the QR codes on printed material that
the QR code stuff doesn't always work the way it should and they should
prepare for user queries. :-(

In the past, I loathed at QR codes; and only added them to CAT because
it was easy, and had the vague hope that some might find them useful.
Stories like this one prove in my mind that I was right and this whole
QR is pretty much nonsense :-)
