Let's consider particular apps we want to be able to install. Here is my short list: 1. Garmin Navigator, currently only for Windows, with functions that are presently not supported on the Maps app that comes with the G1. On my T-Mobile Wing it installs, with data, on the SD card. It doesn't have much RAM, so how is it done on that platform? What would it take to duplicate it on the G1 (leaving aside the port from Windows to Linux).? 2. A decent word processor + spreadsheet app. Preferably openoffice.org, although that is huge. I could get along with Kword and Kspread for a while, or even a good text editor like Kate. 3. An Exchange equivalent, perhaps OpenExchange. 4. A package manager, like Synaptic. 5. A good web editor, such as Quanta Plus. 6. An FTP tool, like gFTP. 7. A terminal console with shell access. 8. A PDF viewer. 9. An accounting app, like Gnucash. 10. A task manager/planner linked to calendar, email, etc. 11. A scientifuic calculator comparable to the TI-89. 12. An encryption manager, PGP.
Given the limited RAM and system memory, it would seem that that should be largely confined to the launchers and their icons, with everything else residing on the SD. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
