One of my apps is described here http://ambrosoft.com/gregor_android_demo.htm
It lets you browse Amazon's music collection utilizing their XML speaking web services. As it is it is not very practical yet; it is merely a technology demo showcasing some very highly optimized XML processing code. After you search for a musician/group, say "radiohead," the Android app gets the whole information bundle from Amazon on a bunch of Radiohead recordings, including prices, reviews, publication dates, etc. etc. By default the list is first presented as a table, sorted by CD title. From Menu you can pick different sorts, eg. by price and enjoy fast transformation on the client itself w/o going to server for anything anymore. Similarly, you can drill down on a particular title to read reviews, see the song title list, and get a link to the actual Amazon page for that publication. As before, no new sever interactions are needed, all the info is already cached on Android -- just not everything is shown all at once. It is only when you search for a new artist, a new info bundle is requested and cached. While the demo is limited to just music, it doesn't have to be :-) It is a simple matter to open it up to browse the entire Amazon catalogue. Why Amazon? 'Cause the serve very nice XML in response to queries and we like working with XML :-) --Jacek On May 6, 2:12 pm, "Vasanth Sridharan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > My name is Vas and I am a reporter for Silicon Alley Insider > (www.alleyinsider.com), a tech news site based out of NYC.
