Marco has explained why he doesn't make an Android client. It has nothing to do with delicate sensibilities. It's pure economics.
His business model is based on selling a paid app, and based on his numbers, doing that on Android won't pay for its development.
- rdl 15y agoI'm thinking of doing a mobile app for our security tool, and as far as I can tell, trying to come up with a working security model for the Android version is impossible. iOS is trivial, and if I cared, I could do a blackberry app (but don't). So iOS > Android for people who actually pay for software, or for anything where you want to keep credentials or data secure against loss/theft of a phone. You could maybe get away with using Good or something on Android, but that makes developing an app a lot harder.

- rbarooah 15y agoWhat a bizarre comment to receive downvotes. Here's Marco's explanation: http://www.marco.org/2011/12/07/standing-up-for-android http://www.marco.org/2011/12/07/standing-up-for-android (he's also made the same point in his podcast)
