Hi Richard,

The supported phones list just tells the phones we have a user affirmation that BGBlitz2go works on. We programmed very conservative, so most mobiles not older than 2-3 years and many earlier should run (if in doubt just ask me and I look whether it's worth to give it a try). From the list you see that we know only a handful where bgblitz2go doesn't run, usually due to limited memory. Big publishers like EA can check hundreds of phones for compatibility, but that is far beyond our financial possibilities.

Only Java is needed for BGBlitz2go and here is where the bad news for the iPhone starts. Apple decided having Java on the iPhone is not necessary, therefore an iPhone version would mean a complete rewrite for us and that is far beyond our resources.

As soon as we see an opportunity to port BGBlitz2go on the iPhone/Ipod Touch we will do it.

ciao
Frank
