I've heard it works on an iPad... I would assume it might work on an Android tablet...
The current client can't be resized, though. I do know that. I am not sure how touch controls would work, though. I suppose my post claiming ignorance is more to keep it alive and see if someone smrter than me comes along... (there are plenty of them) |

The only way for it to work on an iPad at the moment is through a remote desktop application
There's work on porting the client to HTML5, but that's still in early alpha development. |

It doesn't work on andriod because java doesn't support andriod. hence the java client doesn't work. |

It is not because Java does not support Android or IPhone, but the other way around.
Running Java allows the machine run anything. Tablet/Phone platform owners do not want you to run unvetted software, only their accepted software from their marketplace. That is the whole ecosystem concept. |

that android doesn't follow. It'll let you install any app from any location out of the box; you're not tied to the 'play' store.
The remote desktop solution will work for android as well.
I'm guessing you could run fumbbl native on a windows tablet since it has W8; same as on a PC.
HTML5 fumbbl is still a long way off. |

unfortunately, yes. Would be pretty handy being able to play on the tablet! |

Imagine the mis-clicks (mis-fingered?) on a tablet I think the UI would need some tweeks for it to work on a tablet anyway. |

I'm looking forward to the first time an opponent disconnects and says "sorry, tunnel" |

playing with your dongle on the train will get you arrested. |
