    That's very wrong; by far most people buy ARM-based phones and tablets. Last I heard, under 5% of anything Android used Atom.

    Intel Atom tablets are making huge inroads.
    Surely Unity is going to officially support them soon? 4 years already!

    My tablet has an Intel Atom chip. It is not possible to deploy directly, but creating the apk first and copying that to the device works like a charm. As far as I know there is some kind of emulation going on, but I don't know whether that is the case for all the devices.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.

    No, it doesn't work for all devices.

    I have a brand new ASUS Memo Pad 7 ME176 and tried that. Fails to install, even after trying various security options.
    :(

    I am soooooo glad I didn't update to Android Pro, otherwise I'd be really mad!:rolleyes:

    As it is I'm still debating the worth of Upgrading to Unity 5 Pro and iOS pro.

    Update: By playing around with different build settings I can now it running on the ASUS ME176 but it's not working 100%.
    Some of the UI panels won't show yet others will.
    Could be a Z order rendering issue in the emulation I'm guessing as the app works fine on my ARM Galaxy S3.
