Android device database

Question

I am wondering if there are any Android device databases.

One of the applications I'm working on now allows users to install the application on their devices. After installing the application registers with the server. The device is tied to the user account on the website. On the website, I would like to display an icon for each of the devices that the user has associated with his account.

Ideally, the icon will display the actual device that they have. The database of Android devices ideally allows me to get this picture (since it’s even worth trying to find out if the device is a phone or tablet is complicated and basically guess the work (see screen resolution, etc.). I have googled around and nothing not found.

Ideally, the device database will expose the remainder API, which I could request to get information about my device (including icons, etc.).

I am going to create such a service, as well as an application that can be used to extract information about the device and upload it to the device database (the website will allow users to associate images with devices).

I thought I should double check that it does not exist yet.

Google has a list of Android devices on its previous Nexus One website here . The list, however, is rather incomplete, and depending on your location, some phones may be hidden (you can change this using the drop-down list). However, the list is quite detailed and includes a lot of specification data about each device.

Of course, this does not replace any web service or central database, but I think this is the closest you can get at the moment. And if you plan to create a database yourself, this is probably a very good source for obtaining information.
