  This may be possible in the future, but for now we only have WGT available on the iOS, and it uses it's own account, not your regular WGT account.

  Only what they call WGT lite, i have an ipad and to be honest its only playing blitz type games, which you have to pay to get more courses,you cant play the full game because apple do not support flash players.

  I think you both are missing his question. I believe he is talking about here and not the mobile version. If it were the mobile version he wouldn't even be able to have it on his android tablet because as you said it is for IOS only right now. There have been a few members who say they have played on a tablet. I seem to recall Sam (Bolluxinbruges) saying something about an adapter to allow you to use a mouse with a Samsung Galaxy tablet.

  If his question was "How can I play this flash-based browser game on my Andriod tablet?" Then the answer is you cannot. Flash is not supported on Andriod tablets.

  There isn't a way for us to make THIS game available on the iOS or Andriod OS, so we are making games on those platforms, like WGT LITE on the iOS, which will continue to be developed over time.

   I'm posting this on my home PC but, at this very moment, I AM playing on my Android tabet... albeit not very well.

   On a Polaroid ( yes, the camera people... surprised me too) 10.1" internet tablet. It's nothing fancy, but it will get the job done. I'm using the Operamobile browser & a wired mouse. Gameplay is definitely jerky, but I CAN play the game.

   

   Edit:    The one thing I miss is being able to use the scroll wheel to change clubs or putter scales. I wouldn't recommend playing anything but solo rounds, though. Timers would kill you b/c th response time is pretty slow.

  That is sort of a misconception. Flash is still available for android devices it is just not available through Google play. You can still get flash you just have to go to Adobe and download it from the flash for Android archives. I have flash installed on my Android 4.0.4 phone. It works pretty well. And all Android devices that had flash installed before Google stopped offering it still have it and it should work. You just have to have something to connect a mouse with.

  Correct, it is available, but not supported.
