As the developer of Families, I'd like to clarify the position regarding supported Android platforms.
Families will run on devices with Android 1.6 upwards, with one known limitation. If the device does not have Google Maps installed as standard (the majority do) then Families requires Android 2.0 or above. Some Android devices cannot download apps from Android Market. In this case Families can be downloaded from SlideMe instead. If anyone has a device which meets the above conditions but is still unable to run Families, please contact us and we will be happy to work with you to determine why.

At this time I don't remember what app it was that is phone only, but to run the families I had to have that app and I couldn't get it, the Android Market is not open at this point (but I haven't checked this week) to non phones.
