There are some really nice options here. Some additional things that
may be worth considering:
* Tight integration with about:newtab - this page could have some UI
that allows you to see tabs from other devices - eg, above or below the
tab thumbnails some element saying, eg, "Tabs from other devices" that
expands into the list of tabs as shown in your other slides.
* Tight integration with the awesomebar - as you start typing in the
awesomebar it could explicitly callout tabs that match the current
search and which are open on other devices. This could possibly even
match based on the device name - eg, typing "Galaxy" into the awesomebar
could match all tabs which are open on "Ryan's Galaxy Nexus T"
As to the relevant pros-and-cons of the presented options, it's hard for
me to form a strong opinion - but that's why they pay you UX people the
big bucks ;)
Nice work!

Hi Syncers,
We're considering migrating “Tabs From Other Devices”, which currently
appears in a web view, to appear natively in the browser chrome,
possibly renamed it as “Synced Tabs”.
Presented are two possible directions:
1. An Australis-friendly menu that puts synced tabs on its own that can
be positioned as other menus (e.g. History)
2. Combining synced tabs with current tabs spillover menu, and possibly
including recent tabs from this and other devices.

Thoughts?
