Abstract: A method and system for making it easy for users to identify their mobile device and the applications available for their device is provided, referred to as a device identification system. The device identification system simplifies the process of determining the device a user is using and the applications available for that device. Users are generally much more familiar with their device's features than they are with information such as the model number. Thus, the device identification system makes it easy for users to determine their device type by asking them questions to which they are likely to know the answer. Other features and alternatives are described.
