Chan revealed his feelings in an email interview published today on PocketGamer.biz. Of course, his opinions need to be taken with a grain of salt considering PapayaMobile's role as an Android-based social gaming company.
The Motorola Xoom and Galaxy Tab 2 lead the way for Android Honeycomb
With the new Motorola Xoom and Galaxy Tab 2 hitting the market over the next few months, finally Android gets two tablets able to compete with the iPad. Since both support Flash, a full array of Flash games are playable on the tablets, and new games are able to take advantage of the tablet screen resolutions ushered in by Android 3.0.
Chan feels that Android does a better job of targeting both high-end users as well as the lower-end, typified by tablets from Archos and Augen.
Many game developers prefer Apple iOS over Android
Still issues with the Android Market lead many developers to prefer Apple's iOS platform over Android, despite Google's recent improvements to the Market. Google needs to improve carrier-ware installed on Android devices more than anything.
Apple's dominance of the tablet market is expected to continue, but Google finally releasing an Android version that it endorses on tablet computers means that competition between the two technology giants leads to benefits for end-users.
Columbus mobile gamers looking for an alternative to the iPad need to keep an eye for the release of the Motorola Xoom and Galaxy Tab 2.
