Determine device (iPhone, iPod Touch) with iOS

Question

Is there a way to determine the device running an application. I want to distinguish between iPhone and iPod Touch, if possible.

Answer 1

Here's a minor update with new models:

- (NSString *) platformString{
    NSString *platform = [self platform];
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone1,1"]) return @"iPhone 1G";
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone1,2"]) return @"iPhone 3G";
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone2,1"]) return @"iPhone 3GS";
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone3,1"]) return @"iPhone 4";
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPod1,1"])   return @"iPod Touch 1G";
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPod2,1"])   return @"iPod Touch 2G";
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPod3,1"])   return @"iPod Touch 3G";
    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"i386"])   return @"iPhone Simulator";
    return platform;
}
