Android is more difficult to support because there are so many (theoretically infinite) hardware configurations to support. Even with the two new iPhone sizes, there's still a relatively small number of configurations to worry about for iOS. It's not hard to find app developers being candid about the fact that while they produced for both platforms, just keeping the Android side up to date and bug-free quickly became too much for them to manage, as much as they might wish otherwise. (In many cases, they're Android users in their personal lives.)An open platform is a double-edged sword.But an open platform would also solve this: There's no shortage of D20 apps, for all platforms (I'd bet even Nokia and Windows Phone are set for them). If WotC would open up their material with a new OGL license, the marketplace would quickly create all the tools needed. Premium packages like Dungeonscape would still have an audience, but other niches would get filled very quickly, at at a variety of quality and price points.</blockquote>
