Hi Oisin, Giovanni, Phonegap looks pretty damn awesome. I was also pointed in the direction of this https://github.com/pygloo/pycon-android for Android.
Oisin, do you want to have a chat this week about working together on this? We can try a test app to see if its feasible. Giovanni, do you have and further ideas on how you want the app to function, in terms of features/stories, or perhaps there are some other example's of similar conference mobile apps. Also is there an API now? Thanks and apologies for not replying earlier, Nick On 4 Feb 2011, at 13:09, Oisin Mulvihill wrote: > Hi Giovanni, > > What you suggest sounds good.
