Hard to tell at this point. (Oct 27,2010) the PlayBook simulator only works for AIR apps at the moment with no access to the browser. That said someone from RIM should know! – scunliffe Oct 27 '10 at 18:34

FWIW, the one for my Playbook (retail) at OS 1.0.1.1690 is
Mozilla/5.0 (PlayBook; U; RIM Tablet OS 1.0.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.8+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/0.0.1 Safari/534.8+.

My Playbook is running OS 2.0.1.358, and the User-Agent
is:
Mozilla/5.0 (PlayBook; U; RIM Tablet OS 2.0.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/535.8+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/7.2.0.1 Safari/535.8+

The user-agent string from the SDK browser, which is not final or official in any way, looks like this:
mozilla/5.0 (x11; u; linux i686; en-us) applewebkit/534.0 (khtml, like gecko)

If case matters, it actually reports: `Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.0 (KHTML, like Gecko)` – scunliffe Jan 13 '11 at 10:57
