Sales picked up greatly once the iPad came out, but it's still questionable whether it was worth the effort. Even after reaching #7 on the iPad Entertainment charts, my share of the sales only bought my dinner each night.

Development costs for an Android version would be very high, since we have no code which could be ported directly, and the user-base will always be only a tiny fraction of the iPhone/iPad base. Not worth the trouble for one or two sales a day.

Hi Jim

Will there be an Android version of either 2.6 or 3.x? After buying the iPhone version I bought the Samsung Galaxy S instead as the only thing I preferred about the iPhone 4 was the design.

I would be more than happy to buy an Android compatible release, anyway the other half is asking for an iPhone so I may get to use it.  
Actually there is quite a good Aquarium Live Wallpaper for Android 2.1 and above phones from KittehFace Software

There is a FREE version and a Donation version with extra fish and extra backgrounds.
