check for blackberry simulator in code

Question

Is there any way to detect in java code whether or not the code is running on a blackberry simulator or on a real device? I have to set a connection string based on whether its running on the simulator or on the real device and would like to set that automatically...

Call DeviceInfo.isSimulator(), this is found in net.rim.device.api.system. See http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/4.0.2api/net/rim/device/api/system/DeviceInfo.html for the class details.
