I am compiling to my galaxy s4 phone at the moment which is working fine,but I want to get something with a bigger screen.

Does it matter which android tablet I get ?

Anything,I should look out for ?

Does it matter if I buy a cheap or expensive tablet ?

I would recommend getting one of those cheap 7" $50 tablets with the 800x480 resolution just to test with, you'll be surprised how many people use them. And maybe a Nexus 7" (2012 will do) for the higher quality 1280x800 display. If you app runs and looks as intended on those you should be fine.

Don't forget the emulator. Slow as molasses, and the sound doesn't work on mine, but you can test a bunch of configurations and OS versions easily, at least as far as screen layouts etc. go.

Be sure to save snapshots, then at least the start up is quick, even if your framerate is still 5 fps.

Thanks for the tips, will have a look about, see what I like.

I didn't forget about the emulator, but its nice to buy new gadgets ;)

I have a $50 one with single core processor 1ghz,512MB of RAM,800x480 resolution, its quite nice, runs my game at fullspeed.

Also plays video very well for netflix and youtube.

Also spectrum and DOS emulation.
