I still intend an Android version later this year.
Can we still expect Hiarcs for Android in 2013??
ChessBase have improved their app for Android and will be able to add new engines soon, they already got StockFish and Critter performing on multicore phones. I guess it would be more profitable and easier for a developer to just port their engine to this app, rather than go thru the laborious and bug fixing their own package.
Professional engine authors will be able to sell their engine this way.

Of course we prefer a full featured Hiarcs for Android app (GUI & Engine), but if only the engine will be ported, it could be used with Chess For Android (http://bit.ly/13G0dw9), an app from the great Aart Bik!RadioSmall wrote:The Chessbase Stockfish and Critter Android apps According to what I have read online are not full fledged playing programs , but only analysisCubeman wrote:ChessBase have improved their app for Android and will be able to add new engines soon, they already got StockFish and Critter performing on multicore phones.

Chess For Android is a kind of generic chess UI with support for UCI engines.
