Something that someone may be able to do, but I can't find the right bits in the registry, is to change the PIE user Agent string. I like to be able to do this to get my Vario III and MDA Pro to report themselves as an iPhone for one reason only, to get proper access to www.textonphone.com when I'm not using my iPhone. If you don't have an iPhone and have never heard of textonphone then fire up firefox, install useragent switcher and configure it to report as an iPhone with the following user agent string.

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3

Textonphone is one of the best online repositories of free to access ebooks I've come across, problem is that it will only let iPhones or iPod Touchs access them, you can even cache quite a few pages ahead if you are going to be out of wifi or edge (and 3G if this user agent faking is possible on WM) reach for a while.
