Any chance of an Android version?
Just curious. I would be happy to add my $20 to the pile if this ever came out! Any consideration of this possibility or is it one of those 'too much work for too little return' type of deals?

Its TBD at the moment. We ned to see how thigns go with iPad and then make a call. So far so good but the general opinion is Android is smaller than iOS right now so if we can make enough sales on iPad to make it make sense we'll certainly look at it.

Re: Any chance of an Android version?
While it pains me to say this.
Android machines likely will be open to installing Windows 8 soon enough, at which time the point of an Android version will be close to zero in need. Windows 8 may well turn our tablets into one hand to hold tablet mini computers in any fashion worth mention.
I am not a Windows 8 fanboy mind you. Just accepting the truth, that Windows 8 might succeed in killing off the Android OS, not to mention putting the Apple OS back where the Mac OS has always been.
You don't need to like that truth Apple fan boys, just accept it.
I have an Asus ePad Transformer, and with Splashtop (it comes with this by the way), I can run anything my computer can run (not ideal, but it can still do it). So really, if you have an tablet with a screen size worth comment, you can play BA on it right now.
And if you have a decent data plan, you can link up via internet anywhere to your PC at home and play your game remotely if desperate.

The Transformer comes with Splashtop?? I had no idea! I'm going to check mine now. It's a JP version so maybe it doesn't have it. I'm doubtful as to whether Windows 8 can kill Android. Apple certainly hasn't done it and Windows Phone 7 sure as heck hasn't even come close.

Re: Any chance of an Android version?
If you have a Asus eePad Transformer like mine, it is possible you can also be using Ice Cream Sandwich (goofy name for the Android OS of the moment).
Your interface might look much like mine. Select My Cloud, that is the portal to the process of connecting to other of your computers. It requires a password entry, might also require your source PC be arranged to accept access from external devices (I am now speaking a bit outside of my total knowledge base though).
Keep in mind, accessing your PC requires it to be actually on, and anything you initiate, WILL be running and if the monitor is on, it will be visile (so watch what you access if your PC is in a location where it can be viewed eh).
