Personally: no. Just because: - Typing on a keyboard is so much better with a real keyboard - Device screen sizes are limited, though that may start to become less of an issue - A stock Android device is pretty locked down in terms of the kinds of root programs you can install. Android devices aren't *designed* to run programs suited to desktops, because it doesn't jibe with the execution model as well. As a corollary, small UNIX batch programs are almost nonexistent, while they are commonplace for development. + Most things real developers need wouldn't work on Android: I doubt anyone would do serious development without a build manager, for instance.. - Compiling on a device would just suck, especially given the battery life and processor specs (why do it on a device when you have a perfectly good computer..)
