                          <br>
                          Some guesses based on previous EMB history:&nbsp;
                          it will be 12 months until we see an Android
                          version (XE5).&nbsp; Which will prove to be very
                          raw.&nbsp; When a usable version comes out in XE6,&nbsp;
                          XE5 Android support will then be claimed to be
                          a "technology preview".&nbsp; 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,&nbsp; expecting that for
                          the upgrade price I would receive (within 6
                          months or so)&nbsp; a product that would provide
                          support for Win32/Win64/IOS/Android.&nbsp; "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.&nbsp; 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>
                          <br>
