Nano Amp, Amplitube and Android

[auggybendoggy2]

Will the nano amp work with Amplitbue on an android phone or has IK seriously hampered it by making it an iphone exclusive device?

iRig Nano Amp is "the versatile micro amp with built-in iOS interface" and the specs do not state Android compatibility so it would not be a supported platform. "Hampered" isn't quite the word I'd use, though, as iOS is unfortunately quite far ahead of Android for realtime music production and while there may be many Android devices out there, many of the devices are low-spec'd and/or running very old versions of Android OS. Even though the raw numbers might show Android as technically a large market, more iOS users are using their devices to make music.

Peter, you sound like one of those Apple cultists. Nevermind that though. If Android can't handle it, that makes sense. However, I find it odd that IK multimedia is selling Amplitube modules on google play. You'd think that since they make amplitube for the android, they'd also support hooking up a speaker via bluetooth or usb. Oh well maybe someday.
