<p>I believe the pocket version of minecraft requires a qualcomm snapdragon video chip. Also the 0.4.0 alpha version ran better on my device than the 1.0 release.</p>

My latest device that I bought from BigLots is cheap tablet 4" with<br>
moderate specification written on the box but in reality the situation<br>
is different. As I mentioned in previous post some of the RAM is<br>
locked so there is only 340 MB available. CPU claims 1 Ghz but<br>
actually Android uses between 500 and 800 Mhz. Third thing is the SoC<br>
itself. Is not one of the ARM cores it is MIPS 74Kc something with no<br>
FPU so there is software FPU running by Linux kernel. I don't mind all<br>
issues but the latest is little frustrating. I have tried to download<br>
pocket version of Minecraft game ( Yes I have two kids ) and Android<br>
warned me " Portion of the game contain native code so it may not run<br>
at all on this system" . So it does not run :)<br>
<br>
This is not really a question but just thought. Isn't that some kind<br>
of security issue for Android, running native code, isn't that code<br>
running outside Dalvik VM. And using native code rejects all other<br>
platforms but ARM ...<br>
