Image by Device Type
It is possible to associate one or more images to a Content, so the operator is able to create contents and to associate different banner images to it. The idea behind having more than one image (banner - type = 3) linked to the Editorial Content is allowing the operator to filter by device type. This means that the relationship will be: Editorial Content - Image - Device Type. We would need also a default "device type", so that in case the operator don't want to distinguish among devices (or an specific one is not set) the default can be used.
