Tablet Wars II: Attack of Android 3.0

I just wanted to mention that there are still quite a few of us out here running iPads. I suspect that there hasn't been much said from the community about an iPad version lately because we all know you are working on a Mac version and that would come before an iOS version. So I, for one, am looking forward to the iOS version once the Mac port is fully released.

I have nothing against an Android version, mind you, but I just wanted to point out that many of us are still looking forward to an iPad version, too!

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Indeed! I own an iPad and I'm eagerly awaiting an iOS version of Hero Lab!

No offense sir, but there are two different threads for a reason. 1 for Ipads and the other for Android users. They did this to avoid and wars and flame threads. While yours is not a flame thread, it should be posted in the iPad forum and not here. Thanks
 
First I will start with "I'm a PC" but I did receive for x-mas an Ipad2 (which I like very much) and would love to see HL/Army builder and other new products from LW have an "app" for. I find it is very helpful to have a small device that I can take with me to a con and not take up to much space at the table or worry about the power needs of my laptop. I will be using it at DDXP coming up at the end of the month (anyone going send me a email we can hook up and chat or game together) so I will let you know how it works.

I use Teamviewer from my iPad. It will connect back to your PC from anywhere in the world. I used it at Gen Con last year to pull down files i had forgotten to bring with me. very handle and easy to set up.

I have downloaded the "free" version and it works good I shall see how it goes :)

In the time until LW can release product/app I have decided to use the PDF version from HL to save my character and with the Annotate PDF (free app) I can look and write on the character. So that is a way for people to use HL PDF files on their tablets. Hope this helps

I'm waiting to see how well it works on ios or android before buying one of those tablets.

I have a divided group, half with IOS and half with android... either way will work :)

It works well on my windows tablet, but that is a full PC.
 
Rob and Colin, I don't know anything about the IPAD but wil the MAC Port run on the IPAD 1 or 2? Also If you already have all the data filke for the PC version of a game system will you have to buy them all over again or will HL offer some sort of Liscineing agreement at a lesser cost?
 
iPads and macintoshes are different enough that they will likely have to write code for the iPad, so the mac version wouldnt likely work as an iPad app. (there's significant enough differences between tablet "apps" and computer "applications").
 
With the Mac version coming out soon, Realm Works coming out soon... I think... well rather HOPE that the very next major achievement that Lone Wolf focus's on is the Android version for tablets... so we can use BOTH Realm works and Hero Labs from the tablets!! :) and soon! hehe
 
Transformer Prime

I'm personally hoping to see Android, as I am planning on getting a Transformer Prime HD when it comes out this summer.

Alternatively, Windows 8 should be an easier adaptation, as recompiling a program for ARM is not supposed to be difficult. A Metro UI would be nice, but simple functionality should be a quick adjustment.
 
You have my full vote, I would love to see at least a viewer and on the fly editor to use to start, but would definately pay extra for a licence for an Android version.
 
I have been thinking about it and I think that in order to retain compatibility with HL I am going to get a tablet pc. This is a good pic of one.

I used to do tech support for them so I got a firsthand experience in using them. Now that I am gaming again and am using HL once more I plan on getting this so I can HL where ever my gaming takes me.

Another vote for Android.

Honestly though, the smartest move LW could make is building the app in a cross platform language, even if it meant hiring someone new. It would give HL much greater market exposure and not alienate one group.
 
I've heard a whisper on the winds of another company putting together a product that runs from a laptop and will allow HL to be used through it. I think it is something of a cloud system and the HL information will be displayed through a browser.

I have a good lead on this and I will be following up at Gen Con about it. Wont really know anything more before then though.
 
I would actually be happy with an Android .por viewer that could simply render the HL .por files xml into a human readable format,
 
I'd be happy with just a Android .por viewer as well. In the meantime, I'm having SOME success using 2x Application Server and their Android app to remotely connect to my PC and access Hero Lab from it.

It runs ok if not a little small. A native app would still be WAY better and something I'd pay for.

Until we get the chance to circle back on the Android port after we finish the iPad, you can always just print to PDF and then view the PDF on the Android tablet. I believe there are also equivalent tools to the Splashtop iPad app on the Android, but I'm not sure of their names. I've heard very good things about Splashtop working well for users over the past year.
