You can keep an eye on that thread to see the current patch status. I realize it is not a definite release date but it is better then the "soon" we have been getting for the past year.
Android turned out to be a much more complicated implementation than we anticipated. It's still something we're working on actively (and a lot of the improvements in this patch are stepping stones toward that goal), but there's unfortunately not a lot to report in the way of Android "news".

Well the only BGIIEE sale they will get from me is the Android version. No Android copy, no sale. I bought the Windows version of BGEE because I was foaming at the mouth but that's it.

Agreed; I preordered BGEE for PC when I heard there was a possibility of an Android version, and I even bought a second copy just to give away to support the devs... Had I known it was going to take this long to get the Android version going, I might have re-thought that whole plan.

Same here. I ordered the PC version of the first one to help support them but after the interminable delays with getting it ported to Android after promising they'd do it "soon", well, no second chances. Yeah, I know "soon" can mean almost anything but a year is too long, IMO. No more of my money until we get Android versions. The instant one's available (and I know about it) I'll be buying it, both #1 and #2. I'll likely get the PC version of #2 as well, but not until the Android one is released.
Like many others, I purchased a PC version with the intent of taking advantage of multiplaying with use of my Nexus 10. Please make this a priority. Great work on the 1.2 patch, but we really need to open this up to Android. From a marketing standpoint, think of how many more purchases you would get on an Android friendly system. Right now, sans some Final Fantasy releases, I have a hard time finding an RPG worth its salt on the Android market.
I'm still patiently waiting and watching for the android release. (fingers crossed for good support across 10inch devices, tegra 2 onwards etc. i'll buy a new tablet if i have too hah (just not an ifad XD ))

Almost always last with the love. *sigh* It's cool though...got LEGO Marvel Superheroes to keep me happy.
I reckon getting bgii:ee out was in the legal agreement which ended the halt in development. Think when arguments about money and returns came up, androids priority took a hit against the proven figures for pc, Mac and ipad Of course, pure speculation, glad to here they hope to get out out before Xmas though
This is good news, hears hoping we can get Android versions soon...although...going to make it hard to work with Android BG:EE right at my fingertips all the time...Beamdog...if I lose my job...I blame you...lol
Seriously. I've been waiting for an Android release since the Baldurs Gate 1 hit its Android release date and is still TBA. I also bought a copy of the PC game just to help the devs on the first round of these shenanigans. Now we're a year later on the first game still in hiatus on Android with a second TBA release for another whole game. Come on guys, give us already paying customers some honesty. I know I'm not the only one who feels betrayed that the cake really is a lie.

Loved that part where you gave em free money to help them So sweet and naive . You gave them free cash , boosted PC sales and therefor help bg ii for pc come out before the android you actually wanted. Stop comin to the forums . Get splashtop or learn to use gem.
Somewhat my thoughts. I will buy the Android version of both games for my tablet as soon as they come out - and THEN probably the PC versions, too, but not before. My priority is the Android version and thus I will not sabotage it by boosting PC sales first. Get it out and you'll have at least 2, probably 4 more sales.

Isn't that the said piracy that you aren't supposed to be discussing?
Also, I don't mind having the game to play on PC, or supporting devs on games I love. I just wish they'd stop marketing Android releases that never come.

"The #Android work turned out to be much worse than anticipated. Major re-writing of large systems."
Didn't he say something similar last year? I convinced there will be no Android release this year either. Sigh.
I bought my tablet earlier than planned (earlier than having all the money for it, hello student overdraft!) in the hope of getting BGEE.
