Could you try the HTML version of the PlatformInfo$ test program at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25216439/HTML%205/PlatformInfo/PlatformInfo.html (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25216439/HTML%205/PlatformInfo/PlatformInfo.html) in Firefox or Chrome
Mine looks something like that included.
Some things to note :
The DPI setting is "NO_DATA", which may cause problems if you are depending on that value. You also get this value on Linux...
The ID string is much shorter than the one returned from Windows
Looks exactly the same (besides clock ofc) for me. Btw shouldnt ScreenSZ be the real size of the Program window in the browser (guess thats the case?) and DesktopSZ display the real Resollution of the Desktop? What does it display here?
Are you aware of the debug output?:
request: fopen("/home/emscripten/.glbasic/glbasic.deviceid", "rb") failed
wrt-request: fopen("/home/emscripten/.glbasic/glbasic.deviceid", "wb") failed
can't write to file: /home/emscripten/.glbasic/glbasic.deviceid

ScreenZ (Screen size) is the size of the graphics window/screen resolution, as set by the project. The desktop size value is, of course, incorrect in HTML 5 - I'm certainly not running on a desktop size of 320 x 200
So ScreenSZ is correct, but DesktopSZ isn't. Btw locale is wrong too, it displays us for me, but all settings on my system+browser are German.
What does writefile output mean?
Yes, locale is wrong for me too (I've made a bug report for it).
The inability to write is, I believe a "feature" of HTML 5...
In HTML5 I did not specify any platforminfo, yet.
I'm wirking on getting it running on you iPad now.
