Sadly, the 755P Simulator does not match the real device for either the companyID or the deviceID. The 755P Sim reports: CompanyID: hspr DeviceID: D052which is the 700P deviceID... For those who are keeping score at home, the deviceID-independent "Treo test" I ended up using was: if

Neil, Bummer! Thanks for the CompanyID tip. I tested on real 600 & 650 devices, but only tried against the 680 and 700p sims, which do report 'hspr' as the CompanyID. I should have checked Hal Mueller's list also. I already do have an IsTreo function that checks the known sysFtrNumOEMDevice

I usually do both. First, I check for the features I need, regardless of which device it is. This tells me if it's possible to perform the task necessary. Second, I'll check the device against a list of devices I've tested. If I haven't tested the app on that device, I'll often put up a one-time w

David, >Does anyone have suggestions? As others have mentioned, some current Treos already don't use 'hspr' for the company ID. I also use a simple IsTreo() function which I update as new devices are known. But what arguably is a better idea is to check for the existance of the feature(s) you c

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
