Are you assuming that the return value is false because it is not true? According to this, null is sometimes returned instead of true. If false is actually returned, then I would think it is a fault with the tablet's browser. Either that or in the browser's settings there are options to pretend the device is something else (for testing purposes); there is no reason why these should be selected by default though.

If that's no help then please give us further details (such as the browser you are using).
