Answer 1

You can do it with JavaScript, using User Agent as already explain in another answer,

But you could also use the Cordova/PhoneGap Device API

http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/2.8.0/cordova_device_device.model.md.html#device.model

Using var string = device.model;

string will contain the iOS model

Giving you all the information from the native just in case you want to know if its an iPad 1, iPad 2, or iPad Mini

For example "iPad2,5" is the iPad Mini Wifi
