Will Nexus 7 and other tablets get the opportunity too?
The Nexus 7 is much more powerful than the iPad mini for a great price, and there are many other tablets like the Transformer series. Imagine playing on the Transformer with a keyboard dock...

I haven't gotten Nexus 7, so I'm guessing maybe.

You don't know that Nexus 7 is more powerful than the iPad Mini yet. Anyways, it probably won't be available for the iPad Mini, Nexus 7, Kindle Fire HD, or any of those other not-that-powerful tablets, they just wouldn't be able to handle it.

The iPad mini has the same exact chip used in the iPad 2 whereas the Nexus 7 has a 1.3Ghz quad core Tegra 3 processor. 512MB of RAM (Nexus 7 has double of that). We pretty much know that the Nexus 7 is more powerful.

The question is not the power but the development time vs demand. That said, Android and other platforms is something that we are definitely thinking of.

iPad mini has iOS, meaning most probably.

Also, there are more android users than iOS users, so I don't think that you should be 'thinking' about it, but 'doing' something about it. :)

Also, Nexus 7 is more powerful than iPad mini, for about 2.5x lesser price.

If the game works on the iPad 2, it works on the iPad mini
If the game doesn't work on the iPad 2, it won't work on the iPad mini.

On the other hand, I'm left-handed.

We don't have iPad minis to test yet, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work on it. It's basically the same internals as iPad 2 with a smaller screen.

@aaron

You're talking about software.
The "will it work on [device]" is about hardware.

If a game works on windows xp, it doesn't mean that it will work on a 10 year old computer with windows xp.

And give reasons on why "this" is better than "that"

On the other hand, I'm left-handed.

Although I wholeheartedly disagree with you in every possible way, you're really adding nothing to the discussion.

Tenal, you're just like the people with the Samsung G3. "Oh, the specs show it's faster than the iPhone 5, so it's faster". Now, tell me what is the fastest smartphone by benchmarks tests and regular speed tests? iPhone 5.

In terms of opening, switching, and closing apps, the iPhone wins. That's because for the hardware-software integration and the different app infrastructure. However, this stuff require processing power. So if this was ported onto the iPad 4 and the Transformer Infinity, the iPad 4 would _probably_ load faster, but the Transformer Infinity would process the game (give more FPS during stressing).

Also, don't disgrace me with the SGS3. The software modification is horrible. Get Nexus.

Actually, those benchmarks were faulty, and the only reason the iPhone feels more smooth and fast is the hardware optimization - android can't optimize itself with all these handsets.

You can basically put a Windows 98 on an Overclocked AMD FX8 and still will get better results from a Windows 7 Intel Core i5, due to optimizations and the software capable of taking advantage of the power.

The apps don't work the same way.

If you go to the home menu while having an app running on iOS, it's paused.
If you do the same on android, the app is still running.

That geekbench test is useless, because if you do it 100 times, every single result will be different from the other.

There are results of that test where it's both things: The iphone 5 is better than the galaxy s3
and the galaxy s3 is better than the iphone

On the other hand, I'm left-handed.

The iPad mini and the iPad 2 won't be different at all, they have the same resolution and processor so the app will work for the iPad mini - definitely.

iPad Mini: Recycled iPad 2.
Nexus 7: 2x performance of iPad Mini sold for 2.5x less.

Also, did you guys notice how the iPad has a less screen resolution than the Nexus? That'd mean the iPad will show less than what the Nexus can, even though it has a bigger screen... lol.
