1. Most android devices are phones which are too small to be used, the GUI would either have to have 200 drop down menus or would have to be cut down in feature.

2. Unable to optimise too much, you're always stuck behind a virtual machine, which has changed in LolliPop, however there is still issues regarding optimisation of the program to be usable and not kill all devices.

3. So many devices out there which are just a royal pain, there are so many times that a device just simply doesn't work for no reason other then the phone provider doing something stupid with their software breaking others

4. Algodoo for Windows hasn't seen an update in a short while, Algodoo is pretty much on a hiatus at the current moment in time (however should be picked up when there is the correct demand for the software), I'm not sure Algoryx even actually has any android developers
