At this link, it shows the following:

'Hi all,

I am sharing some of my library of iOS specific stuff in the hope that the community can suggest improvements and that it may be useful to others.

The following code can determine iPhone, iPodTouch and iPad based on screen res and geolocation (iTouch has no GPS). If anybody can help with code that can narrow the selection (i.e. determine between 3G, 3GS, 2nd gen, 3rd gen etc) that would be most welcome!

edit: hmm. Just realised that the iPhone 1st gen also didn't have GPS, so i can't use that to distinguish iTouch from iPhone...
