[QUOTE="Kwartel, post: 4591989, member: 173128"] There are two problems with android as a gaming device. [LIST=1] [*]Controls [*]Availability [/LIST] The controls are properly pointed out in previous posts. Now for availability: Developing for Android is not interesting, because users can't be bothered to pay for anything. iOS is a real threat for handhelds, but Android not much. And no I'm not an Applefag since I love my Sony Xperia U to death, but Google really messed up the Play Store. Why you ask? Because it's creditcard only. No prepaid cards in stores, no paypal, no debit cards, no iDeal. Apple has all those options, that's why there are more and more games coming out which are more than just casual. I love my 3DS and my Android though and I don't mind carrying around both. If I need to make a trip long enough to use my 3DS, I carry a bag 99% of the time anyway. [/QUOTE]
