1) Has Game Tree TV been successfully used on an Android platform yet? GameTree TV has been migrated to Android TV and successfully demonstrated to several large US cable operators. 2) Is Android support viewed as an important part of GameTree TV? Firstly, Android is still based on a Linux kernel so it's a natural platform for us to support. Companies are using both embedded Linux and Android quite pervasively around the world. We do see Android as an important platform to support which is why we've had GameTree TV running on it for about a year. We have no live deployments on Android but we are going into several trials with Android shortly. 3) Could GameTree TV be installed on Android tables and smartphones in the future? We can install GameTree TV on handheld devices but it's important to note that GameTree TV is designed to be a television based gaming platform. Technology aside, there are some important inherent differences between the handheld market and the television market. Firstly, from a screen size perspective the kinds of games played on a small screen versus big-screen TV are different and/or need to be modified to ensure the right experience. One is a 12 inch distance experience and the other is a 10 foot lean back experience so the manner in which a consumer plays is fundamentally different. The other thing to note is that handheld gaming is a singular experience whereas TV based gaming is a multiple person experience. Finally, the input control on handhelds versus TVs is different. A touch input requires different games from those that require a remote control or gamepad. 4) Has Transgaming been in talks with any Android OEM's to have GameTree included in their devices? We have a considerable list of companies that we are engaged with on Android based opportunities. This ranges from device makers to cable operators. We expect to make announcements about Android in calendar 2-14. Thank you, Robert Submitted via https://transgaming.com/contact-us
