* to use different QML since the same QML code cannot (yet) work on both * to use the content-hub for getting a file vs doing a regular file open dialog * to load contacts from the content-hub vs from another source that is desktop specific * to enable push notifications or not * to assume a different role (master or slave device of the same account) AIUI the convergence work will help with some of these but even that won't help if you want a backend part of the app to work both on the phone and desktops other that Ubuntu with the convergence supports installed (other linuxes, Windows maybe) So a way to distinguish between phone and desktop at runtime is essential. Whether it is a 100% working method via an official API or a good heuristic is not a major concern for me right now. Jani
