Another option is to simply hang the device specific object directly off of navigator. navigator.contacts.create(...) navigator.contacts.find(...) Requiring ".device." is just extra stuff to type and doesn't provide any important encapsulation. This also would be consistent with the geolocation api: navigator.geolocation. System Info & Events could be something like: navigator.systemInfo.get(...)
