Well, I wouldn't exactly call it a product announcement, in fact it looks more like a slip of the fingers, but according to Scott from Fictionwise, they do expect to support Android at some point. Android development is pretty different from a general Linux version, but I still see it as a step in the right direction.
For the direct quote, see the second to last paragraph of his Sept 19th email to the Fictionwise Yahoo! group, but you won't find any further details. It was just an off-the-cuff comment.
I would think we would have seen a proper product announcement if it were coming quickly, but the first Android device won't hit the shelves until later this week, so anything is possible. Let's hope more platforms are on the way...
