Can anyone explain why the 888 iOS poker app is available to install from the Irish App Store even though the Bwin poker app isn't? The Bwin app has been around for a couple of years yet I still can't play it in Dublin. Very frustrating!

Technically since it's browser based it should work on any internet-enabled device with a touchscreen and browser. We've written a full review of the 888 poker app here http://www.iphonebettingapps.com/888-real-money-poker-app.html
The 888 poker app for iPad has recently been upgraded to include 888's fast fold poker variant called SNAP. Basically you are dealt a new hand every time you fold, which significantly speeds up play. SNAP poker is available from both the HMTL5 browser version and from the iTunes App Store.
i've always loved 888 poker because of the the high percentage of fishy players you can find at the tables. i don't know if they are attracted by the no deposit bonuses or if they come from the 888casino games but it's always been a profitable poker room for me to play at.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab that work game me. Is there also an Android tablet version of the 888 poker site?
