Evo and Galaxy Tab are both hdpi (though the Tab technically should probably be mdpi... hdpi is okay though, it is just a design decision for the device to make the overall UI larger).
Also density != "higher res". It is REALLY REALLY important to understand this. The Xoom is mdpi but much higher resolution than the hdpi phones. It just has a bigger screen, but as a result is lower density. If all you care about is the screen resolution (that is you don't care really about having your UI size remain about the same across devices), then don't use density which will pick resources based on *screen density* not resolution. You could instead use -nodpi and just do your own resource selection based on how many pixels you have to use.
