I have a Samsung Young phone which I can give you for free, I can send it
from Romania via Mail if it's possible. It is a 60 euros price, but it has
everything: wifi, GPS, memory ram one giga, like an iPhone 5, it has 4 GB
internal storage and support a 64 SD card flash memory, I have here one of 8
GB which I can put inside before sending.
Of course this phone is small and it is not so confortable with talkback,
but everything can be done with a little patience. Even Google Maps works.
You can use of course Google Maps APIs for free.
If you are interested, my e-mail address is emanuelboboiu at gmail dot com.
Best regards,
Manu

Subject: Re: [Loadstone] Porting to Android
I keep hearing about these sub $100 android devices, so hear's a challenge
for anyone, find a sub $100 android unlocked phone in Canada. The hardware
would at least have to have a gps and enough memory to hold a reasonable
amount of map data. It would also have to perform well with talkback. I look
forward to seeing what people come up with.
As for loadstone being a web app that's not what loadstone is all about. The
idea is to have it work without a data plan or connectivity of any kind. Of
course if you have connectivity even better for data loading and other
features but the basics will function offline.

I am getting a feeling, there is a strong resistance porting to Android.
Nexsas devices are indeed pricy. But there are plenty of Android devices
which are Sub $100 which has the GPS and decent hardware to test the
developed apps.
Usability of Android devices gets a bit impacted by customisations been
done by vendors. However, they will not come in the way of testing a
developed apps.
Moto G is not pricy at all and they are Stock Android.
At any rate, the approach to make the appweb based would take care of all
the platform issues.
Do consider the developments on this line.
