Over the past few days I've hacked together an experiment that targets using an app to augment live television. I've described it here:
http://keyeslabs.com/joomla/blogs/i-think-im-becoming-an-android/421-hacking-the-state-of-the-union It's interesting in that it takes advantage of the Android platform talking to a Google App Engine back end to solicit real-time sentiment feedback during the course of the speech. The State of the Union is a great venue to test out the concept and portions of a generic platform that I'm working on for future projects along the same lines. If there are any friendly devs that are planning on watching the State of the Union tomorrow and would not mind installing the app and then giving me feedback that would be much appreciated. The GAE portion of this has been the most challenging, really. It would be nice if GAE would start offering services specifically targeted at supporting long-lived connections with Android clients. The biggest wild card in this whole experiment is whether the GAE app will be able to withstand X number of clients polling. I thought about Cloud to Device, but I wanted a bigger user base than Android 2.2+ would provide. Anyone else doing something similar? What has your approach been? I'll post some follow up later with results of the experiment and a bit more detail on architecture.
