    What kind of mobile device do you prefer using when it comes to gaming or just using apps? I have an android phone and an earlier model iPad. I prefer playing on the iPad, because it's a bigger screen, but the thing is getting old, so I like playing on my android phone more often. I have a Samsung Galaxy phone that is just pure bliss.

    I often play around on my Android device, making a few programs here and there and rooting phones for my friends during my free time. It's easy to say that the android operating system is more developer friendly than iPad's iOS. With iOS, you have to pay a fee to develop programs, even if you don't release them. I prefer tablets more than phones, larger screens and more pixels. Got my android tablet for free from a relative in China so I don't think I'll be getting a new iPad or android tablet anytime soon.

    Definitely my iPad just due to how big the screen is, a little impracticable for going outside but its portability for just at home is good. The bigger screen as opposed to a smartphone reduces my eye strain too.

    Android tablets, definitely. xlzqwerty1, how do you test your apps? I found the stock emulator to be painfully slow. Enough to discourage me from making a simple app, let alone a game. I've tried other emulators too with no luck. I guess you can run it straight on the tablet, but that doesn't make it less inconvenient. If I can't run a test in 10 seconds tops, it's taking too much. How do you do it?

    I like my iphone 4 a lot just because of the fact that it doesn't freeze up or crash like my android. This might be a bit biased since my android is made by some company called Kyocera and the phone model, The Event, is one that is sort of old and not really heard of, while the Iphone 4 is clearly made by a well known company.

    I loved playing on my HTC ONE X, graphics were always so crisp and fast!
    Big screen was an advantage too.
    Unfortunately it broke so now I'm using HTC Windows 8s.

    I've got a Nexus 7. The crappy 8gb version that doesn't even exist anymore... It is more than adequate for my gaming needs, it runs GTA: Vice City pretty well. I use the Sixaxis app which allows me to use my PS3 controller (I have a controller but do not own a PS3) but unfortunately not a lot of games support it natively, which does make me annoyed a little bit. The Nexus 7 is a good enough tablet at the moment though.

    I do want some racing games that can use Sixaxis though. Not getting much love at the moment in that respect.

    I prefer playing in the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. It's a quad core device that could play almost any Android game there is without any hiccups. The massive 5.5 inch screen is excellent for gaming. The images are clean and crisp. It's a joy to play on the Note 2.

    I'm completely satisfied playing on my Galaxy S4. It's not too heavy when holding it above my head, so I can keep that position for quite a while. My experience with iPad and other tablet are that they are too heavy for my liking. I can't hold it in overhead position for a long time unlike with my phone. Also, my phone is more mobile and versatile while I would have to haul around an iPad.

    I like playing on an iPad, because I don't like playing on a small screen that much. I can enjoy it for a while on a phone, but eventually I'd just get tired of it, unlike when I'm on a bigger screen on a tablet, I feel a lot less cramped so it's a lot less tiring for me.

    It all depends on where I am. I play on my phone when I'm on the go and might possibly have a little time to kill. If I'm at home, I use my boyfriend's Samsung Galaxy 2 tablet because the screen is bigger and it just makes some games look so cool.

    I like playing mobile games on my iPhone. I also like tablets, however I don't own one at the moment.

    I like playing on my android device (smartphone). Although iPads are also cool to play on.

    I use my android phone for casual gaming. If I am waiting for something that will take hours to come, I usually like to whip out my Galaxy Tablet 3 and start playing on that!

    I kind of don't like playing on phones because of how small the screen size it is, I have to get up close and squint at the tiny text!

    I like playing on smartphone (Android OS). It's simple because you can have it with you anywhere you go. But if i am at home i use Galaxy tabs because of the bigger screen.

    @rgrimes same here, which is why I prefer to play on a tablet but phones are more portable so it's usually more available for when you really need it like when traveling or waiting in line.

    I play on my iPhone 5C. It runs all games amazingly well with no lag whatsoever. Good device for the price!
