I actually got to see it on an iPad, which it thought looked and played good, but Apple still wants you to pay to play their game, whereas on Android, you don't have to. Seems like bigger screen you pay, but smaller screen you don't? Yes, no? - BLUEBOY

Nah its just apple owners have (due to itunes and apple) got used to paying for stuff...

Droid owners i think largely dont want to pay and preffer software eco systems that are either community/gpl/add driven.

So when they made it for android they decided to all add driven as its the only method that would mean people used it.

Having charged for so long for it on the iphone i dont think they could stop... however it will be intreating to see what model they use for the new software, will the iphone get a free version ??

Am I the only one find that this game has attention span of 1-5 minutes? It was "cool" for the first minute, "ah" the 2nd minute, "oh" the 3rd minute, "nice!" the next minute... Of course, it's fun if you're waiting on lines or buses/trains, but I won't waste my precious time at home/work for this sort of game.

Peace!
