I have three of the phones on that list. Will probably be four soon enough.

I'm still working to finalize the dev devices I'll be purchasing if the angel comes through... I'm open to suggestions. I was thinking:

Nexus 4
Nexus 4
Nexus 7
Nexus 10
Galaxy S4
HTC One

Devices need to have a hardware or software justification for dev purposes.

An Xperia?

I considered it but there isn't enough market justification. I'd be looking at like the upcoming Note or Motorola device(s) maybe.

I was going to say Note 2 or Note 10.1 for the S-Pen.. and a transformer something for the dock, but then thought about it and I'm pretty sure everything from the transformer is handled on Asus' side and you don't have to do anything within your apps for it. Do you have to made any modifications for S-Pen functionality? Otherwise, yeah you're covering a broad range of resolutions, you got the "black bar" from no menu button. I wonder if you should have one of the $1 phones that has like GB still on it and a weird 3.2" screen and RAM measured in MB, just to see performance scaling.

I develop using the most recent UI and UX approaches as established by Google and bypass issues like the 'menu button' conflict entirely. Stylus and digitizer support is irrelevant for the first two apps we'll be publishing, and our minimum target API is 14 or 15, meaning ICS+ or JB+.
