I think the developers use Asus Transformers (tablets with associated keyboard docking stations that turn them into de facto laptops) extensively, so having a full IDE that can run on one of those would indeed be a boon -- even if most Android users have little use for it.

But why?? The point is that I would never choose to do development on a smallish device. In fact, I would always choose the largest, most powerful device available! Multiple screens, speakers, lots of ports, power, etc.

Maybe there is a market for commuters/travelers? Even then, I would prefer a large-screen laptop.

As a traveller it's a bit hard to argue with that sweet, sweet 12- to 16-hour battery life.
