Qualcomm was recently added as a FIRST Strategic Partner (Google already was one), so you are probably right. My guess would be Google Nexus devices, since those fit the sponsors and are pure android instead of some phone manufacturer version. Of course, it doesn't matter that much for app development as long as the apps are compatible with the OS.

One of the kids suggested that they could program the robot to drive itself to competitions next year, since there may be a built-in GPS. There are a lot of things in a typical phone that were external robot sensors the last few years (accelerometer, gyro) as well as new capabilities. It's going to be fun to see what teams come up with next year.
