Tom & Tim - I forgot about the mobile tools in Chrome, they are pretty
good, I wonder if you can add devices, my phone is not listed.

The new dev tools in Chrome also provides some pretty amazing device
emulation. It's certainly not perfect but miles closer to real than
simply resizing the viewport as you work which, as Tom says, will get
you a long way.

While testing on devices is important, you get a long way using the
dev tools in Chrome or Firefox.

I suppose I must begin testing on different devices immediately so
break points can be inserted. Otherwise I'm afraid I'll be far along
in development only to realize I'd have to go backwards causing all
kinds of frustrations.
What are the popular devices ?

Absolutely correct , Christopher ;) Make sure it works at any width
regardless of device and also focus on popular devices. This is the
dichotomy I am faced with every day. When I have control over the
design it tends to be more simple, but working on a team it's never so
straightforward.
Making the site flow perfectly at every width regardless of device is
the ideal I work toward. When I have to rely on MQs and trickier
tricks, I recognize the failure, try to do my best, and test on devices.
It is confusing, you are totally right. The one should make the other
unnecessary, but things are often more complicated. And fun!

I don't have any site analytics, although that probably does help
narrow things down, although you never know who will visit your site
on a device that is not in your analytic.
This is the confusing part Tim :)
You say focus on the most popular devices but be sure your design
works well at any width !
