+      - Tablet (iPad, Kindle Fire, Galaxy Tab, etc)
-    - Browsers - Should we switch the question to ask about browser / versions that people use or they require support for?  I believe we should draw a line in the sand on what browsers we should support based on building blocks like jQuery that we will start taking heavier dependencies on. (vboctor)
