On Android ?

It would be great if Notch puts Minecraft for android and not only Xperia PLAY devices!

The article clearly states that its being released on Android, and the Xperia PLAY is Android-based. What's your point?--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 07:41, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

I ment that the version of that minecraft isn't made for android devices without a hardware d-pad, normal android phones/tablets only have a touchscreen.--Wiki-asd-97 - MCWiki User 7:16, 7 June 2011 (GMT)

Huh? It is coming to all Android devices at some point (after a period of Xperia exclusivity). --Warlock 21:31, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Most Android devices don't have a native Java virtual machine unless the OEM installs KVM. The current version might run via Playstation Suite on Xperia PLAY. Maybe they plan to compile for Dalvik. Though I couldn't see it being easy to play with a touchscreen or slide out keyboard. 98.204.241.46 23:38, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

iOS?

Just saw the news that say it will be PRORABLY released to iOS next year. By the way,is there any proofs of that? Also, I don't think it is a full-featured game,more likely an experiment or something...(I mean iOS) Using an iPad(I didn't bought it, but it's mine) and I can't think about playing minecraft on iPhone or iPad... 192.168.4.10 16:32, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

See the the banner at the top of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCcsuPH4vJY "Eventually" ≠ "next year".

So...They showed us this banner and it 100% means that it WILL BE?Well...

tl;dr or huh?: We don't know! --{ Fishrock123 } ^(Talk) 17:34, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

References

Tried to add reference section but I guess it doesn't feel like working right now. I'll leave it for someone else to do; it's very difficult to edit Wiki pages on a phone. Electrk 17:58, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

0.1.1j Alpha has been released.

This version is available for all Android devices (AFAIK), includes a new main menu, touchscreen controls and a shorter item bar. Not sure what else is new BUT BE WARNED!!!! The update breaks the gamepad controls on the Xperia Play, forcing you to use the touch controls. So I'd recommend not updating if you have an Xperia Play.

EDIT: Seems to have been fixed in a subsequent bugfix update.

HTC Desire

I have tested it on my HTC Desire. It works fine here, not showing any of the problems that occur in the linked video. I'm running normal Android 2.2 with HTC Sense. No custom ROMs or anything. That could the problem with the person who is experiencing the problem.
