Just checking - is there a way in tier 2 (or tier 1) to detect what device you're running on, and ideally settings like screen res?) While I don't want a lot of switch statements, it might be nice to custom tailor some code - especially for a device that doesn't support another device's features...

I think he wants specific device like iPhone 3G, iPhone4 so he can setup retina display. I believe Lee was looking into this.
I would almost like to code one program and have Pre-processor statements so we can setup these parameters.

Yes, exactly - the string tells me the device, but I was hoping for finer-grained information. Ideally, a major/minor style number (device id# model id# instead of no strings) would be faster for me and less memory intensive. Best of all would be #define values so the compiler actually leaves out the code for the alternate devices.

However, since you mentioned Lee is looking into it, I guess I have my answer - thanks.
