Github user IngusSkaistkalns commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-device/pull/20#issuecomment-69907763 Real life use-case: App for displaying specific ads on mobile devices in stores. Manager installs this app, thats acts like a screensaver/daydream service, on first app launch, it is registered in administrative portal with all available device info, but without manufacturer. So this manager can control what kind of ad-campaign is displaying on any device. Manager creates specific ad-campaign for HTC devices. Wants to assign it to all HTC devices, but no easy way to do that, because there are no HTC devices or Samsung devices, there are at best model names. So to accomplish that, manager have to maintain manufacturer info manually either from administrative portal, or with adding device registration form into application that is displayed on first app launch. Added image for device registration form that gets reviewed by managers after installing app on mobile device and than registering it in administrative portal right from the app, second field would be manufacturer, currently empty and will get replaced with dropdown of available manufacturers or smth like that:
