The android OS is bound to have some nice games in the future, specially from indie developers.
The iPhone is allready added, so why not Android?

Android has been around longer than the iPad, yet the iPad is a platform.

iPhone OS games have to come from the App Store. The Android Market is not the only place to get get Android software. The platform lacks a standardized approval and distribution system. It's more like a PC than the iPhone.

Then what's the point of your thread if you already know the answer to your question?

@jonnybob:  Simple answer...the staff all have iPhones and they decided for it to be a platform....and the staff also decided not to include other mobile devices.

@Unknown_Pleasures: Thats what I gathered from listening to podcasts and videos, not surprising. I know WinMO is also a legitimate platform.

Android has some serious power. I think they could definitely do something with Android in terms of the gaming section.

Why do you ask that question when it's obvious that he's asking his question to get android added as a platform?

That was 2 months ago... I failed to realize that the thread was in the Editing & Tools Forum when I posted that message. I apologize for the stupidity.
