If that is what you think, I would argue you have a poor understanding
of the concept of "development" as it relates to your/an application.

I'll say a second time more directly: anyone who downloads a random
zip file from an unknown person's drop box account at that person's
request is asking for trouble.  There's no guarantee you are not a
malicious fellow just waiting to fill our unsuspecting  computers with
(take your pick).  There are more appropriate ways to share your app
that make the code and your intentions more transparent.  Although I
haven't followed this thread closely, I have seen a few suggestions to
you that seemed reasonable.

See my comment directly above this sentence, and you will see why it
was likely deleted.  If you are still confused, it's probably because
of the way you shared your application.  (granted, I don't follow that
list at all and have no experience sharing an app there, so I am
really just using my own bias to make this assertion.  I'm actually
delighted to have some evidence that there may be moderation on one of
the google android lists!).

Yes, it's always a great idea to repay what you perceive as attitude
with even more attitude by calling someone a prick.

I'll be honest, you're a lot more pleasant than the last chap on here
that wanted folks to pay for his app to test it and provide feedback,
but still...

Also, the xda suggestion was not a bad idea.  A lot of really talented
developers there, and a large base of end users that would probably be
happy to test your app assuming you can provide some screen shots and
a little information about your app that describes what it does and
what your current state of testing is at.  Because that makes a
difference to end users.  Some people are willing to test anything.
Some will only test if you have already at least reported successful
operation of the program on their model phone/pda.


Sincerely,
Chris (AKA - A not quite so young prick from Texas)
