Hi,

Just wondering whether we should settle on a specific approach to
hanging certain APIs off the navigator.device object.

At the moment I spy three different approaches:

In Contacts [1]: 

navigator.device.contacts.create(...)
navigator.device.contacts.find(...)

In File Writer [2]:

navigator.device.textWriter(...)
navigator.device.fileWriter(...)

In System Info & Events [3]:

navigator.device.get(...)
navigator.device.watch(...)
navigator.device.set(...)


So just wondering whether we should take a unified approach to this
stuff. I'd prefer [1] but, well, I'm biased as editor. Maybe [2] works
well (with [1] becoming navigator.device.createContact and
navigator.device.findContacts)?

What do people think?

Kind Regards,

Richard
