Best device to play Pocket Legends on? [ADVICE]

**Spekticle** · 09-28-2011, 11:02 PM

Ok so, I own an iPod Touch 4G 32gb. Its great and all but my hands get really sore from playing PL for 2+ Hours or more. Now since PL is to my video game as Xbox 360 is to some other peoples entertainment. I was thinking about investing in a used or cheap android phone that has a bigger screen. I don't want it on a contract and I need it to be wifi enabled and I need it to run pocket legends smoothly.

Now pocket legends obviously won't be my only use of it, it would probably replace my iPod so please don't ask why I'm spending $200 dollars on just a device to play pocket legends. I want a replacement for the iPod anyways.

So any ideas where to buy one from? budget is $200

Soo ebay maybe? Grab a Kindle Fire when it comes out? Buy an old Galaxy 2 (w/e its called)? 7inch Galaxy Tab?

Post ideas please!

Kindle fire is your best bet. Aside from that, nothing beats the playing experience of playing on an iPad 2

Thats what i was afraid of :-/ Hahaha, but I just purchased a MacBook Pro and that put a rather large dent in my wallet...sooo iPad is out of the picture.

I beleive the Sony Xperia Play allows you to switch targets easier, among other things. From the sounds of it, this would be the best to play PL on.

Ok thanks I will also look into this!

Well the xperia play used is around 300-400 wayyy out of my range but thanks though!

$200 without a contract is not going to buy a very high end Android phone. I suppose you could try used phones on Ebay maybe.

An Xperia Play probably can't be had for $200.

A Galaxy S2 is not an old phone either - in fact it is currently the fastest Android phone on the market. It will cost at best $500 (and likely more) off contract.

Yeah fair enough. I would love to have one too, guess my Samsung Galaxy S will have to do for now =/

It's not clear if the Kindle Fire can even sideload apps. Amazon has been extremely secretive on it.

Of course, once its out, it will probably be hacked so perhaps that won't be a concern.

I was just in radioshack today and without a contract it's $579. If I'm not mistaken this is way more than $200. :|

Lolz why all the fuss? Just get urself a 7inch Galaxy Tab. It can act as a phone and is powered by froyo. U can always root it and get custom ROM to honeycomb, of course.
The Galaxy Tab is ur best bet cuz of its large-enough screen. And its surprisingly affordable, too. the only downside is its short batt span. But it should last on Pl for minimum 3 2/1 hrs.

tablet, i uwed to play on iphone its horrible for your eyes

If you can get any table for below $200,-, I'd go with that. The bigger screen allows for a much more relaxing play style IMO. In weekends, I often play for hours straight (on IPad) and it definitely feels way better in both therms of finger and eyestrain, as compared to playing on my iPhone (4).

Nook Color, Droid X, Droid Charge, Droid Bionic or upcoming iOS 5. Only said iOS 5 because screen size is being about a 1/2 bigger and I prefer Apple.... Good luck. Droid X is cheap and has a huge screen that runs PL smoothly.

**apocketlegend** · 09-29-2011, 06:50 AM

Androids don't have a good touch sense than apple. I have both and when I play I prefer my iPods small screen over the way bigger inspires.

**pastrychef** · 09-29-2011, 09:27 AM

iPad. Hands down.

**Navygreen** · 09-29-2011, 10:06 AM

I first started on the iPod touch 4th gen but 10 inches of screen space has me completely addicted to the game.

I hear there's a new Kindle out? Called the Flame or something? Starting at $199! I say grab you a nice tablet and enjoy this beautiful game even more!

Its running a customized version of android so I'm pretty sure you can run 3rd party apps.
