MobileVariant (or call it type) is something like "Android", or "iOS".
deviceTypes would be iPad, iPod, iPhone, iWatch :)  - or "Android Table",
"Andrpid phone", android what not


Sure.... ideally there are several variants:
- iOS iPhone 5 optimised app in the app store
- iOS iPhone 4s optimised app in the app store
- iOS iPhone 3 optimised app in the app store
- iOS iPad mini optimised app in the app store
etc :)

But, if there is only one variant, it's totally valid to install an iOS
application (from the appstore), on an iPad and an iPhone;

I don't understand categories, here

deviceType and alias should be possible;
It should be also possible to combine that with a variant

==> variant: iOS (since we have only one iOS varaint) + deviceType:iPadMini
 + alias: mwessendorf

I need to add that to the "Message Format" / spec
