Hi all,

I want to detect if the current device is a PalmOS 5.x Treo.  I know I can 
check the sysFtrNumOEMDeviceID and compare against known Treos, and that is 
what I have been doing to this point, but I'd rather use a detection scheme 
that can detect both current and future PalmOS Treos.  I don't care about 
pre-PalmOS 5.x Treos.

Let's say, for example, Palm decides to bring out a new PalmOS Treo, say 
maybe a Treo 755p.  I want my code to be able to recognize that device as a 
Treo without having to be updated with the future sysFtrNumOEMDeviceID.

Does anyone have suggestions?

I was thinking that since all of the existing Treos use the 
sysFtrNumOEMCompanyID of 'hspr' (Handspring), that I could just check for 
that CompanyID and a PalmOS version of 5.0+, and that would indicate a Treo. 
However, I'm not sure future PalmOS Treos will still use that CompanyID...

Does anyone have any better suggestions?

Or, does anyone at least know if a possible future PalmOS Treo will still 
use the 'hspr' CompanyID?

Thanks,

David Thacker
