ICE is a java based browser, the unknown part is because unable to detect the OS the user is using.

This could be because the user is using an some type of unknown palm or mobile phone OS, or as the active time is so high it could be some type of spider crawling the site which is built on this java browser, or identifying itself as ICE. It's very simple to hide the browser and OS you are using, Opera has this type of thing built in to bypass sites that only allow IE users, but it's very simple to change the headers in any HTTP connection.

Web Wis Forums has built into it to identify the major OS's, browsers, and spiders, but there are hundreds of them not including variations, so for those not so well known and rare ones it lists them as unknown.
