Being an Android fan I too was waiting to see if an Android version would appear or even a hint from the SD team that an Android version was being thought about. Unfortunately the silence was deafening so last week I bit the bullet and invested in an iPad 3. Overall I am very pleased with the iPad something I thought that I would never see myself writing!

I'm holding off as long as possible from buying an iPad ..... even though I know SD will be good, the iPad is too big and won't suit other needs. Come on SD ..... come off the fence!

Or wait for the iPad Mini

I agree with this post. I am using SD on my 10" Netbook and 10" Win7 Tablet for planning and during flight. I love using SD that is a fact. But the 10" devices (also Ipad) are to big and not convenient for using in flight. Also the UI for planning mode is not optimized for using on a Tablet. For the Win-Tablet in planning mode I miss the UI of the Ipad version.

But what I mostly miss on Windows devices is a bright 7-8" display with a good resolution. Nearly every day coming new Android devices on the market with good hardware. I found several devices which would work perfectly in cockpit.

Thats why I vote for Android. Common Tim its a big market! Do it and you will get more customers.

A little complement: An alternate for the beginning would be to implement only the GPS Nav mode (like on the WinCE devices) to the Android OS first. May be it is not so expensive in coding like the planing mode. It would be a nice step and very helpful....

I don't like to bang and rant but I have been using Linux on the pc for years and had problems with Sky Demon when it first came out. Now that the rest of the world is using the same operating system on phones and tablets (52.2% in the US compared to 33.4% for Apple), concentrating on minor operating systems like Windows is surely not the way to enhance what is a brilliant product.

Bring out an Android app soon ...........Please!

I´m also waiting for a android SD-app. I flew this season from Germany to scandinavia with SD-software and hardware. The software is excellent, from the best but the hardware....
My backup system was oziexplorer on a Dell Streak 5 android. The Dell Streak 5 is a very fast 5´mobile phone with the best display I ever used in a airplane and glider. It´s another world. Also in clear sun the display is phantastic. I´m also a glider pilot, and in the german glider-scene, the Dell streak 5 is the best choice in the sunny cockpits.
Hoping that the SD-android software will come soon. Then I will extend my SD-license and use it on my Dell streak 5.

Hear hear....then I could use a Samsung.....and not have to get an IPAD...which are overpriced and over here!

Here's hoping that there will be SD Android announced at the Flying Show this weekend. [1/2 December 2012 at NEC, Birmingham]

I have got Santa Claus on standby to bring me a 7" Android tablet.

The display on my recently aquired Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Phone is excellent.

Let me add my voice to the clamour for SkyDemon on Android! I don't really want to do the "Apple thing". Windows and Android have opened computing to the masses - good for them A tablet plus a bluetooth GPS receiver sounds the way to go!
