Yeah, it is a 7" android tablet that amazon overlayed their skin. So they have their own marketplace. I think you can force any android app on it, but it is nice when I can get it from amazon.

I find it amusing that Barney just uses the forums as a personal form of google without having to sift through results.

I downloaded Battle Academy last night. It is a pretty fun game. It is an actual wargame on the iPad.

Um, yeah...about Battle Academy. Holy shit.
I've kind of been waiting for something like this- a full-on PC wargame on IOS. It's definitely a Panzer General-style pop wargame, but there isn't anything else designed with this level of depth, detail, and scope on IOS.
It really shows that it's a PC development first and foremost, but the IOS interface works well even though it's a little clunky in spots (double tapping is irritating to me for some reason).
There is TONS Of content. HOURS AND HOURS of campaigns, scenarios, and user-created content. And async multiplayer.
Absolutely worth $20, and to date I'd say it's the only IOS app actually worth $20. Because it's really just a full PC game on your tablet, not a compromised or scaled down one. If you've been wishing there was an ASL-quality wargame on IOS, here ya go. It's pretty accessible too, the tutorial stinks but most of it is pretty intuitive.
