Re: [Discuss] Why was device.name removed from the device-plugin?

[Kerri Shotts]

-1 to using Bluetooth to get the device name. That would add an additional 
permission (AFAICT) that is hard to justify to an end user, and which would be 
added to a good number of Cordova apps intending only to use the device plugin 
to implement platform-specific features or workarounds. 
I agree with Joe -- this is best in a separate plugin. That give the dev a 
choice if they can justify the extra permission, and the potential headache 
that comes with arbitrary device names (or lack thereof). 
My two cents, anyway. :)
