I would really like to know on which devices the host emulation API will be available at all.

Most Android devices with NFC will probably support the API assuming they are running or are upgraded to KitKat.

Edit: including link to source: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/kitkat.html#44-h...

"Support for HCE is already widely available on most NFC controllers, which offer dynamic support for both HCE and SE transactions. Android 4.4 devices that support NFC will include Tap & Pay for easy payments using HCE."
