Hi Victhor,
Thanks for the offer to help test. We'll have to see how (and if?) this
project shapes up and whether we end up going down the ios path or the
android path or as someone else suggested, attempt to find a way to support
both. I have an android phone myself, but everyone else involved in this
UAS project is mac so I'll probably get out voted. :-)
Curt.
