Chances are that HL will come out for the iPad first, and might not reach the other tablets. The main reason being that the iPad has the only controlled software environment at the moment. The host of Android machines on the market run into the same problems that the phones do, that each carriar operates something differently so the technology is not the same. What this does is fragment the market and forces the app developers to create the same app multiple times for the various Android devices. I know Google is trying to get a hold on this, but the genie is out of the bottle.

Where Apple has the opposite problem for the iPad, they control the market so tight you cant always make the apps you want. But in Apples credit there is only one platform, not several, so what runs on one will run on all.

That being said, LW is small company and the maitenance of of 1 app for Apple, or 10 apps for Android, it really comes down to time and energey spent where it will do the most good.

Jus my thoughts.
