This method returns a device object that should be selected by the client application when it is launched.

If the client application that calls this method is the auto-launch application associated with a device and that device is the last device attached (through USB, FireWire or network), then that device will be the preferred device. The best place to call this method is in the event deviceBrowserDidAddDevice, if the "moreComing" parameter passed to the delegate is false; or in the event deviceBrowserDidEnumerateLocalDevices.
