  Check the resolution

  local o = application:getOrientation()   if (o == Application.LANDSCAPE_LEFT) or (o == Application.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT) then DWIDTH = application:getDeviceHeight() DHEIGHT = application:getDeviceWidth() else DWIDTH = application:getDeviceWidth() DHEIGHT = application:getDeviceHeight() end   WIDTH = application:getContentWidth() HEIGHT = application:getContentHeight()

  
  if application:getDeviceWidth() == 768 then it's an iPad

  @techdojo if you enable retina display for iPad 3, application:getDeviceWidth() will return 768 * 2, and you'll cry a lot
  
  1st value -> "iOS"
  2nd value -> [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion]
  3rd value -> [[UIDevice currentDevice] model]
  4th value -> UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() (as "iPhone" or "iPad")
  5th value -> hw.machine. Here are the possibilities:

  iPhone1,1 -> iPhone 1G, M68 iPhone1,2 -> iPhone 3G, N82 iPhone2,1 -> iPhone 3GS, N88 iPhone3,1 -> iPhone 4/AT&T, N89 iPhone3,2 -> iPhone 4/Other Carrier?, ?? iPhone3,3 -> iPhone 4/Verizon, TBD iPhone4,1 -> (iPhone 4S/GSM), TBD iPhone4,2 -> (iPhone 4S/CDMA), TBD iPhone4,3 -> (iPhone 4S/???) iPhone5,1 -> iPhone Next Gen, TBD iPhone5,1 -> iPhone Next Gen, TBD iPhone5,1 -> iPhone Next Gen, TBD   iPod1,1 -> iPod touch 1G, N45 iPod2,1 -> iPod touch 2G, N72 iPod2,2 -> Unknown, ?? iPod3,1 -> iPod touch 3G, N18 iPod4,1 -> iPod touch 4G, N80   iPad1,1 -> iPad 1G, WiFi and 3G, K48 iPad2,1 -> iPad 2G, WiFi, K93 iPad2,2 -> iPad 2G, GSM 3G, K94 iPad2,3 -> iPad 2G, CDMA 3G, K95 iPad3,1 -> (iPad 3G, WiFi) iPad3,2 -> (iPad 3G, GSM) iPad3,3 -> (iPad 3G, CDMA) iPad4,1 -> (iPad 4G, WiFi) iPad4,2 -> (iPad 4G, GSM) iPad4,3 -> (iPad 4G, CDMA)   i386, x86_64 -> iPhone Simulator

  Also you can look UIDevice documentation http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/UIKit/Reference/UIDevice_Class/Reference/UIDevice.html for more detailed explanation of systemVersion and model properties.

  @Atilim - I haven't cried since I got my new iPad but I'll bet @GregBUG did )
  Fair point though - still the concept was sound

  sorry to revive the old post but I wanted to confirm. If I want to check if this is an iPAD, should I use 3rd value or 4th one? My Ipad 3 returns iPad for both of them and I wanted to see which one is more reliable.
  
  Looks like the the 4th one?

  @boriskey 3rd value is a model, which should have returned different values on ios, but for some reason [[UIDevice currentDevice] model] on ios returns ipad for both ipad 3 and 4
  
  and 4th value is idiom, to distinguish between ipad or iphone. So any ipad will be ipad and any iphone will be iphone
