Minecraft Pocket Edition has been delayed twice, but it looks like we won't have to wait much longer. Today Tommaso said on Twitter, "To tweet something MCPE-related: we still have a couple of nasty crashes, but if we manage to fix them, next week could be THE week. For the Android snapshot I mean."
Before the release of 0.8.0, Mojang did a beta test for Android users. The purpose of the beta test was to get MCPE 0.8.0 working on all major Android devices before release, and it proved to be successful. Now it looks like the betas for 0.9.0 are coming next week.
Minecraft PE betas are only available for Android devices with the Google Play store. The developers have said repeatedly that betas for iOS or Kindle are not possible, due to the App Stores for those devices not supporting developer betas. Although for the Kindle, it should be possible to sideload the APK from another Android device with the beta.
When the betas are released, we will post instructions on how to join and receive the beta. Until then, see the source link for the original tweet.
