Determining If Your Device Can Vibrate - iPhone vs. iPod Touch

Developing an application that vibrates when a specific event occurs. I have a setting to enable or disable the vibration function.

I would like to turn off the vibration display for devices such as iPod Touch that do not have vibration. I know that I can do this by defining a device model using:

UIDevice *thisDevice = [UIDevice currentDevice];
    modelOfDevice = [thisDevice model];

Then I can turn off the Vibrate parameter, depending on the model ofOfDevice .. (i.e. do not display it for iPod Touch). It works, but I think it is a bad form. For example, if future iPod Touch devices include Vibrate features, this solution will break.

So the question is .. How to check if the device can vibrate?

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.
