    Is this for tablets only or for smartphones as well?

      Only for Tablets – not enough screen real estate to make this look good on our puny 4.7″ screens :)

        How about 5.75″ screens?

          you can technically side-load it on any phone as long as it has 1024×600 resolution at minimum, may not look nice, but playing with the dpi can help
