Hopefully Stephen Cheng sees this and can give us a quick update on the progress of the SJ for Android project, including any target date for release.
Windows 7 Pro (64bit), SJ Version 38.0.7.0 (32bit)

No, sorry Slimjet is not available for iOS and besides (at the risk of displeasing some iPhone users) Slimjet will not be available on iOS for years to come for several reasons:
1-Strong (and for some inflexible) constraints are imposed on iOS developers: Obligation to have a Mac to develop iOS programs, Obligation to publish on the App Store, payment of a $99/year license to publish applications on the app store (when at Google Play Store it costs only $25 for life)
2-Browsers on iOS are somehow devoid of interest for a very simple reason: prohibition to use another rendering engine than Webkit to be able to publish on the App Store, which somehow stifles the competition between rendering engines (IMO Apple should have been sued for these anti-competitive practices)

That's why Slimjet on iOS is not going to be released any time soon
