-----------------------------------

             Summary: Bring back device.name for the devices name
                 Key: CB-9857
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9857
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Plugin Device
            Reporter: Philipp Kursawe
            Priority: Minor


The value is currently deprecated but it could have been so useful.
When a device is used to generate an access token you generally want to see which device that was on the side of the API key provider and as well as in the users dashboard so she can see which devices are associated with a certain app.
At the moment we can use `device.uuid` but it would much more useful to have something like `Joe's SurfacePro` or `James' MacBook`.

For Windows (RT) its actually pretty easy to find out the devices name, its a sync call even. I have seen code for Android and iOS floating around the web also.

Would that be worth considering and useful for others?
