@Martin As long as it ends with *droid?
This meant that I find *Android* the most developer friendly platform and an IDEOS is a good start. I have never done any serious Mobile app development so I may not be the most qualified to comment on such matters though.
For a programmer , what do you feel comfortable using ?
I feel most comfortable with a normal laptop and desktop. Machines are very affordable nowadays so with a low price you can get a P.C with good specs (RAM / hard-disk space / processors speeds / screen size, etc).
I prefer Android-based smart-phones mostly, like the HTC Chacha. I don't own a tablet or netbook even though I might go for an Amazon kindle some time. Martin.

On the other hand, the HTC Chacha is actually a good bargain for its price [ http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_chacha-3787.php ]

I think you cannot do much serious computing with either a smartphone, tablet P.C or netbook besides Web browsing and entertainment (audio Music, videos, photos, reading leisure books on the go etc). My reasons are mostly related to the small screen-size and keyboards.
Am talking from purely a programmer's stand-point so I also stand to be corrected.
