Hi to all,

There is no need for jsni.

http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/2.0/com/google/gwt/user/client/Window.Navigator.html

Window.Navigator.getNavigator()

should do the job.

a link to the download page(s) of modern browser may be useful, too.

Inquiries for professional GWT support are welcome.
I am sorry, I won't do free personal support.
