The list of mobile devices that your webstore will load its mobile version for is in the string "add key="Device Support" line. In the "Value" attribute, add or remove User Agent Strings (iPad, blackberry, etc.) to enable or disable loading of your webstore's mobile version for such devices.
User Agent String Explained
Whenever a browser accesses a website, it sends a series of information to the server hosting the website being accessed. These information is called the User Agent String; it indicates which browser and its version you are using and the details about your system such as your operating system and its version. The User Agent String being sent to currently accessed websites provides content unique only for your browser.
The User Agent String you will input on the DeviceSupport line inside the mobile.config file will determine to what devices the mobile version of your webstore will be available for. You may also toggle to view the full version of the webstore.

Each User Agent String contains a keyword that defines which deviceit is running from (i.e iPhone, Samsung, Blackberry, etc). The nature of these device keywords inside User Agent Strings is that they are not found in one fixed place inside its syntax, but every User Agent Stringcontains its device keyword and this keyword is what we need to place inside the "DeviceSupport" "Value" line.
