<div>I agree with Joylon's comments in other
forums.<br>
<br>
Some guesses based on previous EMB history: it will be 12 months
until we see an Android version (XE5). Which will prove to be
very raw. When a usable version comes out in XE6, XE5 Android
support will then be claimed to be a "technology preview". You
can also expect that some excuse will be found for you to need to
pay extra all the way along the treadmill.<br>
<br>
Like Joylon, I fell for the marketing material that came out with
XE2, expecting that for the upgrade price I would receive (within
6 months or so) a product that would provide support for
Win32/Win64/IOS/Android. "Bait and Switch" by any other name.<br>
<br>
I've been a supporter of Delphi for a long time, and have bought
many upgrades over the years. All the recent upgrades I've
purchased have <u>never</u> used for other than minor
experimental code, whilst their newer licensing mechanisms remain
a pain in the rear.<br>
<br>
I certainly won't be holding my breath and watching 1000's of
other developers grabbing market share whilst waiting, and waiting
for EMB to actually ship the product they promised as XE2.<br>
