I got one of those new Archos devices which is like a smart phone "without a phone." I refuse to pay high data charges right now, wifi is good enough. Anyway, Archos has not yet been approved for the full android apps, but when I contacted the folks at GedStar Pro, they were kind enough to show me how to get the app and transfer from my PC and it's working. As as someone has already said, Legacy will transfer directly without conversion to a gedcom, for better functionality. So, I'm really happy about that. --Jerry in Michigan
