So far, everything I have tried my game on has worked very well.. all gens of iPads, Droid phones, HTC Flyer, Fire, Playbook, etc.

The one notable exception so far is the Toshiba Thrive 10" tablet which seems to run about half speed of all the other platforms (even iPad 1). This is a Tegra-2 tablet so it should be capable of pretty good performance but instead it is sluggish, especially on the physics stuff. The colors do not look accurate either.

Intel i7-2600k - Asus P67 Sabertooth - 16GB RAM - 2x GTX 460 OC SLI - Lexar 128GB SSD Drive - 2TB ATA/600, Windows 7 x64. iPad, iPad2, iPhone 3GS & 4, HTC Inspire, Mac-Mini. Apps published: 3

I love Nvidia for their high-end video chips. However, their embedded GPU's are horrible. Stay away from anything Tegra related as they don't have the power other chips do (do a google search showing Tegra 3 against an IPAD 2). The IPAD just blows it away by a lot.

Same problem on all tegra 2 devices (it happens when transparencies are used a lot).

It's a very big problem especially on samsung tablets because they are best sellers just after ipad.

and 3D games with transparencies and alpha effects are working well. I still think that's an issue with a solution....

I was talking about the iPad2 verses Tegra 2 and here is proof.

Motorola Xoom uses the Tegra 2.

I love Nvidia, planning on getting a GTX 680 for my next video card, but they can't make proper mobile GPUs to save their lives.
