I have an app that is performing well on iPad2, but bogging down pretty badly on iPad in some situations. Is there a way to query the type of device so I can adapt teh code appropriately?

i have an ipad2 and an ipod4

i get the following strings from Capabilities.os :

"iPhone OS 5.0.1 iPad2,1"

"iPhone OS 5.0.1 iPod4,1"

I have not checked iPad1 but i would think it returns iPad or iPad1 within the string. You then can parse the string and have your answer at runtime.

There could be other methods, this is the only way i know of to tell iPad1 versus iPad2. I think most other values are going to be the same.
