Actually, I'm thinkin' you need a PC, tablet, and phone UI...

I'm thinking you are right. :cool:

The problem is that during development, it's kindof a pain because you have to test the site on five PC browsers, and then at least an iPad and a phone.
Yep, that's a constant problem. Where I am at the moment, the IT guys won't allow Macs or iPads (and I'm guessing Android devices too) to connect to the company network so we're having to go with best guess until we've got something we can access from the live interwebs. Not ideal :(
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.
I just ordered a 7-inch Android table for $50 (man, they're cheap!). I have the following mobile devices - iPad2, iPad Air, iPhone 5, galaxy nexus phone, galaxy s5 phone. I also have two laptops with different screen sizes, and four desktops, all running Weven. I think that's enough hardware to do some pretty comprehensive testing... I'm going to write the site to require HTML5 compliant browsers, and don't anticipate any real problems in that regard.

Chrome dev tools has a Device Mode[^], although I can't find a keyboard shortcut for it. They're not perfect - I've seen plenty of issues on a real device that weren't present in the dev tools - but they're a good place to start. Apart from anything else, they save you from constantly having to resize the browser window.
