Check Point had a Beta Mobile client for Android, I signed in for it, because a customer wanted to try it, but was never able to download it, for some strange reason the User Center showed me as registered, but when I tried to download the installer it would give me an error message about "not having enough permissions to download", I wrote a couple of times reporting the problem but never received an answer about it.
Finally, several weeks later, I received a message from the Development team letting me know they had canceled the Beta and the development process, precisely because they had found security issues within Android that they could not address and so they would have to wait for a future Android release with those issues resolved, before they could continue working on a Mobile client for that OS. On the other hand, I have struggled for months trying to make iPhones connect to a customer's gateway vía L2TP (The Mobile Access client for iOS has limitations and does not give full access to local services as a regular VPN client), but it has been a complete head ache, I have had a case opened with the support team for quite a while with no answer. So, even if you decide to ignore the warning about using L2TP on Android, expect some difficulties on the way.
