None of those are ideal for emulators:
- On Android, you really want Android 4.2 or later on a tablet plus a good CPU, and that basically means either the Nexus 7 or Nexus 10 rather than a Chinese no-name like you're describing.
- On iOS, you need to jailbreak to run emulators, but the regular game selection is probably the best of all the devices. Not a huge deal most of the time, although a few legit games/apps don't work properly on jailbroken devices.
- The 3DS currently hasn't been cracked for homebrew, and if/when it finally is it has a very slow CPU (284 MHz ARM11, thanks to MG for reminding me). The first-party game selection is terrific though, of course.
Like I said in the other thread, the big question in this space now is how Nvidia's "Shield" will be priced. It will be the king of mobile emulation devices if it's $249 or less, and highly capable but harder to recommend above that.
