PhoneGap: Detect if running on desktop browser

by

I use this code: 

if (navigator.userAgent.match(/(iPhone|iPod|iPad|Android|BlackBerry|IEMobile)/)) {
  document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
} else {
  onDeviceReady(); //this is the browser
}

UPDATE

There are many other ways to detect if phonegap is running on a browser or not, here is another great option: 

var app = document.URL.indexOf( 'http://' ) === -1 && document.URL.indexOf( 'https://' ) === -1;
if ( app ) {
    // PhoneGap application
} else {
    // Web page
}

as seen here: Detect between a mobile browser or a PhoneGap application
