I am looking for an inexpensive Android device almost entirely to use as a test bed for jQuery Mobile web based development. I only require WiFi. Similar question to Android Development Device but I don’t need the native Android app capability, side loading etc.
More modern tablets are slightly interesting but I don’t think that gives me the most realistic end-use case and the WAF isn’t exactly high. Suggestions? What do people think of somehting like a Samsung GT-S5630L Galaxy Y? Or is a Samsung Galaxy 4.0 Android MP3 Player a better option?
How different is the browser as you move from Gingerbread to Honeycomb or ICS?
I realize this question isn’t ideal for SO as it is not directly related to programming but I can’t seem to find the answer elseware and am looking for some help with my programming related work.
here’s a copy paste from one of my apps according to usage
The higher the “score” the better the device is good for testing, since it’s more popular.
