1360517 2013-11-23 03:48:00 Definitely! I'll contact you when we'll start to code for Windows Phone :D
If you started a new thread asking for Android game testers on this forum you would probably get a few takers. People here seem to own a good spread of devices and hardware.

Not only do I not own any Apple product I don't own a smartphone or tablet at all.

When I eventually do get one or the other - or most likely the next iteration of the "device" - It won't be Apple.
One reason is after spending the history of computing watching the graphics get better, the gaming get better, upgrading the hardware with excitement, suddenly everyone is pushing old school games on tiny devices.

Going backwards if you ask me. Well said :)

Things are going around in circles -- Every thing went smaller, then slowly they are getting bigger again, ( screen sizes) Android phones / Tablets as well as Apple phones and tablets.

Technology form factors go in circles and improve in form and design while the internals shrink in size and improve in efficiency.

1360523 2013-11-23 06:55:00 I'm curious, what is the size of the Windows app gaming market in monetary terms compared to the iPhone app market?

Well it's really hard to know that because Windows apps market is not mature enough. Why are you interested in that matter? ;)

Well people and teams develop games and various apps for iPhone and iPad for an expected financial gain from a known market (ie hundreds millions of customers who spend money on apps)

Teams develop apps for android because they are asked to and because there is also a big market for free apps.

So what does windows phone and tablet have with regards to a market of users and what do you hope to get in return?
