Just wondering if you guys have heard anything. I can’t find anything online except that they should have iPad/Tablet apps later this month. ---

Battlelog already has the battle screen implemented in the app but their updating the apps on the 19th of this month. Battlescreen has a fair delay so I hope the map refresh rate is higher! ---

So to answer my own question (in case anybody else is wondering), I did some more digging, and according to an EA rep, if you own an Xbox or PS3 version of the game, you can’t fill the Commander position from a PC. You’ll have to use the Battlelog app for Android or iOS, apparently. ---

Good thing the Battelog app doesn’t support my Nexus 7…
