I have been testing a wordpress template that autodetects the iphone and renders a different template based on the user agent. As a work around, the iPhoney app does allow user agent switching if this is needed. The interface isn't as nice as the Aspen Simulator, but if you need the user agent reported correctly, it is the only solution I've found. Source code: http://sourceforge.net/projects/iphonesimulator/ Just do a build in XCode and run the resulting iPhoney.app I agree.

If you do anything special with the iPhone headers just add the Aspen Simulator UA to the list, you should have a list anyway because the Touch has a different UA as well. It might be good to know that you are coming from an emulator (turn on debug features). I don’t think it’s an oversite.
