Have a feeling PC will > in terms of gameplay. Imagine using WASD for movement, click targets, and I'm assuming hotkeys for skills since a click on each is pretty slow for PCs.

Android devices are more powerful than iDevices. While we can overclock our processors now, have bigger screens, and if you aren't at home to be on wifi... verizon android devices are on a superior network. I luck out and will play from my droid and my ipod as well as pc.

I am sure the devs are, or have, balanced out the platforms. And the PC is nice for the possibly of the screen but it is not portable. I am looking forward to Android as I can play anywhere anytime(not saying Idevices cannot). As for one being better then the other, not seeing it since the game will be balanced well on all platforms.
What I do see is a win win for all as this will increase the player base and those that play already might play more as there will be more options. :D and hopefully soon!!

PC hopefully will be greater out of the three. It would be so awesome to see PL expand so greatly.

The ti 3630 processor in the DroidX smacks down the A4 and Hummingbird CPUs, it should be better on the DroidX than iphone4. Can't wait to try it :)

Yea, but that also mean one spot and one location.
There are more portable games being sold today and the reason is portability, playing whenever wherever. And that is huge!!

Lol, funny thing about the no charger runs... My wife plays on an older ipod touch that barely holds a charge anymore. She's tethered to the charger with it, once the Android version comes out she'll be unchained and playing on her Droid on the go :)

I have SetCPU on my Droid and its overclocked up to 1.25 ghz and I have it set to scale on demand. So when the phone needs the power it will scale up, and when it doesn't need to scale it will slow itself down until I need it. It actually saves me a lot of battery.

I'd really like to see an overclocked G2 run this. Those quadrant scores are absolutely nuts! I really didn't think Qualcomm had it in them.

That would be the only time I use PL on the PC, if I'm waiting for my phone to charge. Also at work for "testing" of the new PC components :p LOL plus don't want to get caught using the phone for games, bad juju.

portablility wise, apple has droid beat with the ipad, but pc will own everything.

That's one thing I love about my ipad. I can have a marathon session without worrying about charge. I can play for hours and get by pretty good on it.

For now, but there are over a dozen Android pads coming to market next year and they all sport bigger batteries for longer life :-) but we all still win simply because more people will be playing and new ones like me! Man the wait is killing me!!!

I hope those Android tablets come with sandpaper so we can sand our fingers down to 1/4 of their size. Cause 7" on a tablet is just TOO SMALL to play PL!

It isn't as impressive as you think.

Only 1.42 ghz. My Motorola Droid ( Droid 1 ) runs at 1.25 ghz, so nowhere near as drastic an upgrade considering the Droid 1 is clocked at 550mhz by default.

Clock for clock Scorpion's very good. Better than Snapdragon and the TI OMAP cpu's.

Like somebody else said, Android will come in a variety of sizes for both phones and tablets.

Or I can quote the part about the Tablet for you below:
Motorola Stingray tablet in Q1 of 2011. Now this is interesting. We'd previously thought the Stingray would be a smaller tablet, but it now seems it'll be a full 10 inches with Android 3.0 Gingerbread, 16GB of on-board storage, and Tegra 2. Oh, but that's not the best part: it'll also be "hardware upgradeable to LTE," initially launching with CDMA alone.
A 4g capable tablet thats a full 10 inches and running Android 3.0 is impressive. Adding a Tegra 2 to it puts it over the top. Going to be crazy.

I'm so confused by this statement because as it states this means that all Iphone/Ipod touch user not to mention Android users will need to file their fingers down to 1/10th there size. So your statement=FAIL!
Android tablets will vary from 5" to 15" and right now at work I have a 22" android touchscreen PC running a special X86 variant of Android 1.6 and it works just fine for apps that I downloaded from the special app market.

My statement is not fail. It was a joke actually.
You guys don't read Engadget or Gizmodo much.

This size is useless unless you include sandpaper so users can sand their fingers down to a quarter of their size.

I got it but wasn't sure if you read that site or were just trying to be funny. Engadget is one of my favorite sites and always one of the first apps I download after a wipe.

instead of all this speculation, why dont the devs give us a damn release date?
STS act like its against the law to tell us a release date, not only for this, but for expansions and features as well.

This has been sorta answered, and it's Thanksgiving. It was answered in their Twitter page.
