IsMobile property to detect browser type?

I recently re-watched an older MSDN-TV episode dealing with mobile development for inspiration for a wireless app I'm working on. I heard the MS program manager speak of something he uses - often evaluating a boolean Browser.IsMobile property, which then determines is he Response.Redirect's to another page, if the device requesting the page is/isn't a mobile browser.

I've been looking for it (even tried using it in my code with MMIT installed), but I couldn't find it.

It's neither in the HttpBrowserCapabilities class, nor the normal .NET Framework docs. I'm probably just missing it, being right in front of my face. The only remotely related thing I found was a custom IsMobile property that a dev from France rolled on his own, and of course, the explanation is in French, which I don't speak. Has anyone used this?

The MMIT documentation doesn't load on my production machine (no VS.NET installed).
