Get owner-name/device-name of iPad using HTML5

Question

I want to use it to display a welcome message "Hi [owner name]".

Is it possible to get the owner-name/device-name of an iPad using html5/javascript?

Or using html5 and another framework e.g. phoneGap, appmobi etc.

I think this value is not set on an iPad. Theres is only the name of the device, which is often not the name of the owner. — Johannes Mittendorfer, Nov 01 '12 at 09:38

You can not do this. The only thing that is possible is to detect that a person is using iPad.
