Android tablet support
I would like the iPad software functionality on Android tablets because I use an Android phone. Screen size on a phone is fine for casual use but it is too small for serious reading. An Android tablet would be a lot more convenient to carry than the bulk of a typical Bible. A compact Bible usually leaves out a lot of useful collateral material such as maps, indexes and concordances; not to mention the small print. My resource library on an Android tablet would be a lot more useful than a Bible alone.
I really don't want to get an iPad because I would have to learn another way of doing things and then I would have to switch back between gears as I move between the tablet and the phone.

The good news is that Logos is developing an Android app. I expect it will work on tablets too.

Which month, quarter or year is this expected?

Logos has not given a release date. I have no way of making an intelligent guess.

A review of Samsung Galaxy Tab (by an iPad owner) does not mention switching between devices to be an issue => http://gigaom.com/apple/which-tablet-is-best-ipad-vs-samsung-galaxy-tab/ - conclusion includes Samsung Galaxy Tab is good size for reading (similar to a paperback for portability)
Forum http://community.logos.com/forums/p/28625/212561.aspx wonders if Barnes & Noble Nook Color adequate for Logos android application ? (potentially fairly inexpensive portable device for reading Logos resources)

Can anyone from Logos give any kind of update on this topic? I plan on buying a tablet computer by the summer and the functionality of Logos on it is critical. I really need this information to make the decision.
(FYI, I am not interested in responses that give personal preferences of IOS vs. Android. I really only care about hearing from someone official at Logos as to the progress of software development for Android)

I too would love to know when???
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Obviously I am only using it on biblia.com right now, but so far I love it. It is the perfect size (for me) for reading. Not too big and not too small. Where I am at there normally is wifi so it has not been a problem. However, with summer approaching it would be nice if the android app came. Not much wifi when you are out in the woods camping.
