<?php
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$devices  = $_POST["devices"];
$games = $_POST["games"];
$apps =$_POST["apps"];
$beta = $_POST["beta"];

$stuff = array();
//($stuff, "<html>", "name=", $name, "<br />",
array_push($stuff, "<html>", $name, "<br />", $email, "<br />", $devices, "<br />", $games, "<br />", $apps , "<br />", $beta, "</ html>);
mail ( "[email protected]", "Add me to the mailing listt!!!", $stuff);

Just take a good look at the syntax highlighting right here on SO... – deceze Dec 20 '12 at 9:12
check the array_push syntax – Rafee Dec 20 '12 at 9:13

You forgot closing " to last < /html> 

array_push($stuff, "<html>", $name, "<br />", $email, "<br />", $devices, "<br />", $games, "<br />", $apps , "<br />", $beta, "</ html>");

You forgot to close quotes (") in array_push function.

Here is the solution...

array_push($stuff, "<html>", $name, "<br />", $email, "<br />", $devices, "<br />", $games, "<br />", $apps , "<br />", $beta, "</ html>");
mail ( "[email protected]", "Add me to the mailing listt!!!", $stuff);

I recommend you to use some good editor. This will help you to prevent such silly error.
