    You would place a check in your access policy for user agent string check. Based off the check, allow logon or deny.

    Did not tested it but it should be the same.

     

    See this MS blog which also highlight that useragent is used (near the end of the article, there is mention of the various Mobile OS)

    MS EAS request also has (on top of useragent field) other OS type which may be useful

    The user agent can't be used for activesync in 2010. You'll have to do that on the exchange side.
