I would guess the Android version is pretty much the same as X-Plane for the iPhone. I have certainly had my money's worth from the iPhone version.

I have the Android version and it is a lot of fun. It is actually one of the more impressive apps, and by far the most complicated I've seen for the Droid. Mine is an HTC EVO 4G and it works very well on it. Don't expect FSX quality scenery or anything though. I'd say it is worth the $9.99 price tag.

If you are not in a hurry, I would wait for X-Plane 10.

What he said. X-Plane 10 looks like is is going to be another few steps forward. Of course, XP9 seems to be getting cheaper by the day. And you could always just download the XP9 demo and fly it in 10-minute stints just to check it out and see if you want to buy the whole thing.

Is X-Plane10 going to require over 70GB of HDD space for a full install too or have they come up with a more efficient method?

The more efficient method is only installing places that you'll fly in.
So, yeah, it still takes up about 20-30gb.

They've just released a new Android version which now has "in app" purchasing. So you can buy the sim for a moderate cost, and then add aircraft, scenery etc from within the app itself. Quite a neat idea.

I've posted a bit more detail here (hope it's okay to post the link!)
