  Aww I guess a single core Snapdragon processor at 1.5gHz won't be enough? :(

  I don't know the specs on all the devices, but it looks like dual core processors only for this game.

  I wonder why it won't work on my phone...I have better or equal hardware to the Droid X2 in every way...I guess I'll have to sideload this one.

If they force me to sideload, then I can't pay for it, so I won't mind a lack of support.
