If I understand the situation correctly, the originally-proposed 
approach would work on any device with a physical keyboard for which 
Alt-Q is the TAB key. That eliminates:

-- All devices with dedicated TAB keys on their built-in QWERTY keyboard

-- All devices with TAB keys located elsewhere on their built-in QWERTY 
keyboard (e.g., Alt-A) or accessed by some other meta key

-- All devices sans QWERTY keyboard

-- Maybe someday, all devices supporting external Bluetooth or USB keyboards

Considering that the on-screen keyboard is under development, it is 
reasonable to think that there will be QWERTY-less Android devices 
before the end of 2009. For example, the Lenovo "oPhone" may not have a 
physical keyboard, based on the leaked pictures to date.
