> Almost all of the implementations' device plugin does the same thing:
> 1. On construction, attach to the CordovaReady internal event
> 2. Inside this event, fire off {{exec}} to a "device" service requesting the "getDeviceInfo" action
> 3. When that info becomes available, assign the device information to the device plugin properties and fire off the {{CordovaInfoReady}} event.
> The one black sheep in this approach is iOS. iOS instead has the native framework directly call the device plugin's {{setInfo}} method (essentially circumventing {{exec}}). This is a problem for emulation layers such as Ripple, where {{exec}} is the abstraction/hook that needs to be utilized.
> May need to implement a few platform-specific merge plugins for device, but the core pattern exists in the common one.
