This would also help in making more visible which device we actually use 
when deploying/running, at the place in the GUI where it matters most. I 
actually planned to put a label there, but of course a combo box would 
work as well, even for the case where you do not plan to switch the 
device (I suppose most users will have just one matching device anyway).
However, the GUI element should make clear that this setting is "global" 
in that it will change the device for other projects as well -- unless 
you are suggesting to take the device out of the Kit entirely, which 
would be more intrusive design-wise (and a step back towards the old 
target concept).
