What will it take to make a android version of warfare incorporated?


I have been playing W.I. since 2004 when it was on windows mobile. Well I also played it on the palm treo, then again on the iphone. But I have since got a android phone and its killing me not to have that game on my primary phone. Please can you make a new version for android????

I think the market for androids wouldn't be as big as you describe it to be. I see loads of iPhones but I don't know what an android looks like!

Is there a proggramming tool that can convert programming languages Scott? If there isn't someone should make one.

I re-registered for the first time in years to simply say "android please!"

The few people in the forums who feel android is a fad and merely waiting to be killed by Apple have underestimated the power of a good, open platform OS. Any phone manufacturer with good hardware don't have to build their own software - they have android OS. The quarter that Apple released the Iphone 4, they had their best quarter ever. And Android still outsold it.

Fragmentation in the Android market with all those manufacturers using the droid OS was a potential problem that Google anticipated nicely. They added scaling code so developers don't have to manage screen size and resolution. And the marketplace automatically filters software that won't run on your device, so if you code to a specific minimum spec, you won't be seeing frustrated users wanting their $$ back because it doesn't run. If you developed for 1.6, for example, it would be compatible w future versions.

Per the April 2010 Mobile Metrics report, there were 8.7 million Android versus 10.7 million iPhone devices in the US, and 11.6 million Android versus 27.4 million iPhone devices world wide. With Android outselling Apple, how long before the figures flip? Pretty dramatic numbers for a "fad." True, apple iOS still has 80% of the mobile device OS market, but they have to count iPones, iTouch, iPad and all the rest to get to that percentage. Looking at only phones for the moment, Android is more than nipping at their heels in the phone market. And once we start to see serious pad development, they'll take a run there as well.

So, the customers are definitely out there, and I'd be the 2nd one to pony up the money. PLEASE RELEASE AN ANDROID VER! I haven't been able to play since Palm days, and I'm really missing WI.

Thanks!
