This sounds like it /could/ (not sure and no promises) be an area of work for DAP, given that it is about device/system information, and given that I would expect the user to be in very solid control of the security policy granting access to such information. I guess it could perhaps be exposed as a system property, part of the System Information work. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/
