Bug Description
In order to be well supported in the wurfl database we would like to include a product name in the string. This is used as a key to ascertain capabilities.
Our default UA already has a placeholder for a device ID, which by default is empty. What we’re missing is a mechanism to expose the actual device ID to QML.
We would need to do additional testing to ensure the addition does not adversely affect results.

As explained in the description, the default UA already has an empty placeholder for a device ID. What’s left to do is:
a) understand exactly what should be such a device ID
b) compute it at run time and expose it to the browser QML plugin
b should be fairly trivial to implement once a is well understood.
Pat, any idea what a typical device ID would look like, and how to compute it at run time?
