It Does Not Look like. Or ?
What seems like a fairy tale today may be reality tomorrow.
Here we have a fairy tale of the day after tomorrow....

I think official statement from Robert is necessary to avoid further confusion.
My guess Android will be postponed until better protection is developed for Android by Google.

There is always a light at end of the tunnel. Just make sure it isn't a train!

Thanks! I had Chess for Android on my phone for a bit. Shredder is better and more fun.
It is not just the strength of the engine, it also (even more so on a phone or tablet) matters how usable and feature rich the GUI is.
And I think for a free Android app, Droidfish is without a doubt tops! I do use it sometimes to play against and for analysis.
The usability factor and features are what make Chesstiger tops in the mobile chess app race. It is super fun to use for analysis, playing against and even studying master games.
