Perhaps, that is a good reason FOR Tor to be on Android. I'm a huge android fan (currently making my living off of Android development, in fact) - and the reason that it is so interesting to me is because it covers all of the major US carriers, numerous international carriers, and it's available on both high and low end phones. There is a huge amount of interoperability that you just don't get by just developing for a single Nokia phone.
