I don't think its a good idea to create a separate API for this on the
device level. I suggest either or both of following:

* Extend (if possible without breaking existing API) the existing
filtering mechanism for DeviceManager for this.
* Provide getters for all these properties on device level so Apps can
use that info for different things, including of course to filter
devices in a list.

After all that practice with this in Boxes, I'm pretty sure you can do
much better if you just try a bit.
