I'm curious to know which devices are most commonly used by people who develop and maintain calibre.

I'm using calibre to manage a library I use with my Blackberry 8900 curve. I was thrilled to find that calibre can send books to the device - and convert them to a compatible format - on the fly. But some things don't work well. For example, links in news documents often don't work properly, and files converted from epub to mobi (I use mobipocket reader) sometimes have distracting formatting issues. The content server doesn't work nearly as well with a Blackberry as it does with an IOS device running stanza, either. While I'm sure these issues can be resolved with some tweaking, I suspect they're less likely to exist on devices used by calibre developers.
