I'm building an application in phonegap for the three different platforms: Android, iOS And Blackberry. While doing so, I have to detect the device type so that I can manage the height and width of my app on different platforms and for different devices like Android Phone, Android Tablet, iPhone, iPad and Blackberry...

New in Phonegap, and simplest, is that you can use the device.platform:

// Depending on the device, a few examples are:
//   - "Android"
//   - "BlackBerry"
//   - "iOS"
//   - "webOS"
//   - "WinCE"
//   - "Tizen"
//   - "browser"
var devicePlatform = device.platform;
