Google Play prevents me from installing Firefox on my HP Touchpad running Android 4.04 telling me that it's "not compatible with my device". Although when I install Firefox via the apk on Mozilas FTP servers it runs just fine. (also the Qualcomm Snapdragon DualCore-CPU APQ8060 should be sufficient for the "ARMv7" processor requirement mentioned on the system requirements page in the mozilla wiki.) Therefore I guess that the device is beeing excluded because it is not beeing sold with android (originally it had WebOS installed). Is there a possibility to include the device in the supported devices list so that it can be installed (and updated!) through Goole Play?

For Firefox 14 we focused on having a solid phone based release. Tablets have their own interface needs. We will be focusing on tablets for our upcoming releases, possibly as early as Firefox 15. For right now if you want to try our tablet work you can install the Nightly build from http://nightly.mozilla.org
