No, they're not likely to do that. But it is much more likely that they'll
change the HotSync name in Poser to something else. As you said, it's only a
default.
In short, there is no ironclad, foolproof way to determine if you are running on
a device or the emulator. Even if you come up with a fairly good method now,
there's no guarantee it will work in the future. For casual checking, use FtrGet
to see if there's a 'pose' feature.
