computerchess programs for android OS

[thorstenczub]

are there any experiences for computerchess games for android ?

Thorsten,

there is a chess program named BikJump for the Android OS. It's Java based and probably much slower than on Mac OS X (I've tested it there, it's pretty strong, may be around 2450). Check out this link: http://www.aartbik.com/MISC/android.html.
If you plan on getting an Android run cell phone, you might download this program, would be nice to hear your impressions.

Another thing, in case you are into ebook readers (as I am ) --- Barnes and Noble ebook reader, called the Nook just had an OS update in which they included a chess program and a sudoku game. I mention this because the Nook runs on Android.

Enough food for thought.

Some one has made a port of StockFish 1.8 and has it running on a HTC Desire Cellphone.

this shows IMO that stockfish has still lots of areas where the engine could be improved:
