Android "device name" equivalent
<p>I would like input in deciding what API-accessible field in Android is the best equivalent to an iPhone's "device name" (it will be used as non-essential login data passed to a server). By device name, I do not mean "model", or any hardware- or software-related identifier, but more to do with the owner.
See <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1100127/how-do-you-get-an-iphones-device-name">How do you get an iPhone&#39;s device name</a> for exactly what I'm referencing.</p>

<p>As an additional example, when faced with the same problem in BlackBerry, it was decided that the owner name was the best equivalent. (See answer in <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1557783/get-blackberry-owner-details-eg-name-number-through-api">Get Blackberry Owner details (eg name/number) through API</a> )</p>

<p>So far, it looks to me like the best android-equivalent is using an AccountManager to return someone's google account email; see <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2556495/get-owners-email-address">Get owner&#39;s email address</a>. This seems to me like a pretty rough approximation, though; and would require adding another whole permission to the app just for some non-essential login data. Does anyone know of a better equivalent, and how to grab it?</p>

<p>Many thanks!</p>
