This will detect if you are in Phonegap (vs. desktop browser)

Maybe this will help someone. Maybe there is a more elegant way of
doing this?

// Motivation: I made a web app with which I wanted to use the same
code on the web and in phonegap. I'm using this to turn on/off
corresponding behavior, like telling the web user about the phonegap
version
// @Authors: JJBigThoughts
function isPhonegap() {
if (window.Device !== undefined) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}

Could you try some of the phonegap specific calls and if they don't
work then you know? All of the JS calls to gap: ought to fail right?

I think that the window.Device testing is probably the best way to deal with this.  Android doesn't have any calls to gap: and I don't think that Blackberry does either.  That's to be taken into consideration if you're looking to port this app to all the supported platforms.
