I see that this site develops many games that appear on the Iphone/Ipad. Why not develop for android. Before anyone says that it's because of pirating, know that it may only account for only 10 to 20 percent of downloads. Meaning your still going to make money and make many of your users happy. Just a suggestion.

It's not something the users can answer, your best bet would be to contact the admins directly, though it's doubtful they will answer.

Maybe before presenting this idea to the developers of Armor Games, you could maybe make a petition for this. Its a cool idea since an Android phone is somewhat like an iPhone. I kinda like the idea.

Thanks for the feedback, ill get try and get in contact with the developers. I also really like the petition idea. Maybe we can make this happen.

Isn't more of an issue of the Android OS not currently being able to run any Flash scripts?

I know that since iPods and iPads just recently got a lite version of Flash, it is much easier to convert them to a mobile platform.

Or was it Java they have a problem with?

I don't recall the exact details.

Android was able to run Flash before iPhone/iPad. I've had flash on my Droid since sometime last year.

I think the thing is Android isn't as popular as the iPhone.

I believe, in time, Android will have all the same games and apps Apple has.

Just FYI, there are more people using Android phones than Iphones and its been like that for almost a year now. Just recently, Android Market surpassed App Store for number of apps. Android system has been able to run flash since 2.0. They just released 4.0. From what I see, developing for Android is a no brainer...Just surprised this hasn't come up sooner.

I'm going to call BS on the latest Android statistics vis-a-vis Iphone sales.

If the AG devs want to expand into Android to tap onto the market, they would have, or they will eventually.

Oh wait, they already did make forays. Shift is already in Beta for Android for the past year.

I am sorry, but I kinda need to get something straight:
Wouldn't it be a little difficult to, well, not develop games to smart phones, but convert games that are already made, which I can only assume would happen instead of having to make new games people are going to complain about not being able to play on the computer and all that?
Is it really something that is worth their time and money on the larger scale?
Because I have no idea how any of the games play on a smart phone.

I think that's what the OP meant Cen, at least that's how I read it.

That I have no idea why anyone would use time on developing games for android, iphones or ipads?
Then I grossly misunderstood. Sorry.

My android system is a tablet, so most games already run smooth on the full site. It would be pretty nice to have a fullscreen button added to the game player...
