Big problem is we're not targeting a "device" or "form factor" or any of those things. Anything that depends on knowing the form factor or device already has a serious bug. When I tap on "About this phone" on my Nexus 4 it tells me I'm using an "LGE Nexus 4" and when I tap it on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro it tells me I'm on a "Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro". Obviously the API is there to get that information, perhaps that's what should be displayed as the "About this Phone" instead of the work "Phone." -- Stephen M.
