Abstract: Peggle is a game that balances skill and luck. The Peggle board is made up of different types of pegs, some of which the player must clear. The player begins a turn by aiming a ball at the pegs. When the player releases the ball, the ball travels through the pegs, contacting some and eventually falling to the bottom of the board. The ball may bounce off many pegs, and those pegs that the ball contacts are removed. A score is calculated based on the number and types of pegs hit during a turn.

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.
