    Well I usually make stuff work on PC first before I make the cross to mobile so it's easier to test, but just for fun I booted my game up on my Android device and was certain it wouldn't work and I was okay with that, until I clicked and realized that it in-fact, was working.. Are these results typical across all devices? I ask this because of the warning it gave me:

    Should I listen to this and find another way to check for touch? Or am I safe using OnMouseDown for my game and it run fine across at least 90% of Android devices?

    I too would like to know if it's OK to use OnMouseDown. The docs say 'OnMouseEnter, OnMouseOver, OnMouseExit, OnMouseDown, OnMouseUp, and OnMouseDrag events are not supported on Android' - but they work fine on my Kindle Fire and Galaxy S3. I'm wondering if the docs are out of date here, or do we need to use the Input class methods as recommended in other threads?
