...or smartphones with java support as Android ones? I am not talking of Microsoft Windows devices.

Ist it possible right now or will it be possible after the VBU?

In theory its possible that devices with Java and OpenGL ES support are able to run Illarion. How ever the resolution of current phones is currently too low to display Illarion, even after the VBU. (minimal resolution will be 800x600)

Damn, mine has 800x480 (i think that´s enough to play). That means it´ll crash?

But for example IPad has the needed resolution!

And what´s with real life? Will it work most probably or not?

If you send me enough money that I can buy such a IPad I will be able to tell you.

...won't be a problem.

As Nitram said, the minimum (reasonable) resolution will be 800x600. Also, your device HAS TO support OpenGL. The IPad does afaik, but that is no guarantee that Illarion will work. In principle, it should.

Does Android have Java and Open GL and is it fast enough? And is the built in 1 GHZ Snapdragon CPU and the 512 MB RAM good enough to play Illarion?

Why don't you first wait till VBU is out and then ask if anyone has one of those things to test it?

Most people do play Illarion while on some form of pill.

Android's native language IS in fact java and yes, OGL ES is supported. And it is probably also fast enough, at least for low detail in graphics.

However, current devices do not have high enough resultions to let the client run on it. This was already stated. But in fact, that's the only restriction I see.

No one here is patient enough for that.

As mentioned, Ipad or also the new Iphone have the needed resolution.

And apart from that, who doesn´t buy a tablet just for Illarion today?

You should be able to play it on a iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad. Plus configure the three way axis sensors to act like the arrows keys. And left/right clicks should be simple enough too.

There won't be any support for this devices due the lack of testing hardware.

Christmas is close and I would be overjoyed to find a Android, a iPod touch, a IPhone und a IPad under my christmas tree. In case that happens I will look into making the client running on those devices.

I hope it never comes to this. All anyone is going to do with Illarion mobile is PG anyway.
