And before you say anything, I'm an Android fanboy. Not afraid to admit that.

There's not even a version that can run on Linux. Android is pretty much a Linux distro meant to run on a phone. At the moment, it runs on an iPad only when it comes to mobile, and the iPad is a stinkin' piece of crap that dumbens the minds of many, and by looking at S&I, even ROBLOX.

People think that Android can't run Lua. Well you're a retard and I should punch you in the face for saying that, since Android CAN in fact run Lua. It's pretty much Linux, as I said, for mobile phones.

Also, Android is better than iOS.

Apple is better than Android, I can't deny it, but I agree, there is no OFFICIAL Roblox app... There is an unoffial one, search ROBLOX Wiki on the Android Market, then, once downloaded, click on the link saying "Mew1226", it goes to his profile, then u can login and do whatever u want (obviously not games)

"IOS is better... no doubt about it. Apple is so far ahead of everyone right now it's not even funny.
--
I luled so hard.

Android and the jailbroken community had the notification center well before Apple. I'm talking at least a year before. Same with:

Copy/Paste, Spotlight, lock-screen notifications, photo-editing, pictures with the "Volume up" button, camera app (Actually, any app) on the lock-screen, multitasking bar, multitasking, volume slider on multitasking bar, Twitter integration, folders, transparent dock, dock reflections of dock icon, app icon shadows, home-screen wallpaper, and the new notification banner..

Voice dictation was bought from Nuance, same with Siri's voice transcribing software. In fact, Siri's entire API was bought from an app developer on the app store, with just the UI images changed. The WolfRam Alpha integration is from, well WolfRam Alpha.

Apple wasn't the first to put a dual core in their phones, nor were they the first to put one gigabyte of RAM in them. They weren't the first to create a world phone that runs on CDMA & GSM, but lock it so it can only run on one carrier at a time. And they certainly weren't the first to make an 8 MP camera with an LED flash.

Apple hasn't come out with one original idea, and made it themselves, since 2.2.1

If you want the only three real things they've done on their own, it would be these:
The retina display.
The amazing iPhone 4 feature that caused it to lose it's signal when you hold it normally.
The iPod, the most popular MP3 player that, in fact, can only play songs in 128 AAC quality instead of full 320 MP3 quality.

OH! But that's not all! Let's talk about Mac computers instead of iPhones!

They weren't the first to make it so you can't upgrade any components in them. They weren't the first to use FreeBSD, UNIX, and C coding to build an OS (Linux beat them with multiple distributions long before). They weren't the first to include built-in speakers and web-cams into their monitors. They weren't the first to make the multiple desktops feature, once again that was Linux. The weren't the first with that fancy launcher thing either: Linux.

That OS Lion feature where you can restore previous versions of a file? That's called Windows ShadowCopy. That OS Lion feature that full-screens any app? It's called the "Maximize button". Windows and Linux had it first. Those fancy animations that Mac gets credited with? You guessed it! Linux. The Mac App Store? Linux. In fact, it was done better with Linux.

Though, I will once again have to give them credit for being one of the first for:
Marking up every piece of hardware in them by 85%.
Being looked into by the FCC for anti-trust laws as many times as they did.
Including in an older version of their Terms and Conditions you sign when you buy their products saying that you don't own the product, Apple still does, even after the purchase is complete.

They are also one of the only companies on Earth to be able to brag that their very existence is in debt to Microsoft, who bailed them out before they went bankrupt.

Oh you want to argue that Macs don't get virus? Yes they do. In fact, Mac OSX was judged to have more security holes than XP. But not Linux. They failed the security test, the one that most Mac enthusiasts hold so dear. Oh? You say you don't need to install drivers? Neither does Linux.

Aesthetic appearance is a matter of opinions. So trying to bring that into the fact would immediately be irrelevant. However, the fact that they still haven't included a Blu-Ray drive in their so called "Super-drives", even though they are supposed to be an entertainment OS is still highly relevant.

Apple is complete crap. End of story. Enjoy the rest of your day.

To add onto Cobalt,

Microsoft created the first iPad like object in 2002 (2000 prototype), and it didn't catch on. In 2010, people rejoiced when the iPad came out and said that it was the best new idea ever. The technologies have been around for 8-10 years.

Not only that, but it's quite a fact that Linux, is better than Microsoft and Apple OSes. The only reason they're so popular is because no one ports to Linux.

I really want this too. TOTAL SUPPORT. I just recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 over an iPod Touch! Support if it would run on Android versions 2.1 Eclair, 2.2 Froyo, 2.3 Gingerbread, 3.x Honeycomb, and 4.x Ice Cream Sandwich. It would be really awesome to have ROBLOX on Android though......






P.S. ANDROID IS WAY BETTER THAN IOS. Apple totally copied Google with the "Notification Bar" in iOS 5! And plus, did you know that most of the parts used in Apple Devices aer from Samsung?

Android < IOS. why? because the IOS on IPHONES doesn't have a pattern lock, which is so sensitive that even the owner of the phone gets it wrong regularly. plus it looks better, feels better and is faster. it is more user friendly and doesn't have an evil, stuck up, obnoxious computer voice. Android lets you know when your battert's going flat ONCE, whereas IOS has continuous popups every 1x10^-30 minutes you continue to use it.


for those who aren't mathematically capable, 1x10^-30 minutes is 0.000000000000000000000000000001 minutes.


just a quick raig before saying support! if they're bringing it out on an oversized iPod Touch then why the hell not?
