F*** the iPhone. HnH is Java and the iPhone don't do Java. Android, on the other hand, probably wouldn't take much adapting for.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

iPod does Java.

The greatest problem with Android is that Dalvik seems to suck, though. Primarily, it still doesn't have a generational GC, and given that the Haven client isn't very sparse with memory allocation (it shouldn't have to be), one would probably suffer quite some GC lag. I hear they made the GC concurrent, at least, in Android 2.3, but I'm not sure how that affects performance more precisely, given that it's still just a mark-and-sweep collector. I also don't know how good its compiler is.

It should, my whole computer slows down noticeably (takes me like 15 seconds to alt-tab) when I run it along with Firefox with 3 tabs open and open the Ender's client folder. Multiclienting takes me back to the day of Windows '98 on my crappy Celeron. Yeah, I know, I should buy more RAM, but I don't have money for such luxuries atm.

Might as well put a sign over their head that says "Target", then stand 50 tiles off and range them.

A full client on a phone might not work, but maybe there could be an app that would let you reload curiosities, for those of us obsessed with keeping the mentory full at all times.
Once a man has changed the relationship between himself and his environment, he cannot return to the blissful ignorance he left. Motion, of necessity, involves a change in perspective.
