Yes you are guessing - from a quick glance I think that not only the audio but also the user interface libraries are not supported by Android - so those would require new code as well as porting over the other 3rd parties libraries (about 6 in total) which may or may not use APIs which are unsupported by Android.

I've used that argument before getting development budgets approved - then reality happens. Optimism should never be used when hard numbers can be found. Besides you are ignoring the current Andoid offerings for squeezbox which are likely to have audio support soon as well as other growing music alternatives. > I am pretty sure that you also have the right to distribute it and sell > it on Google Market (Android app store). I think Richard Titmuss and the authors of the 3rd party libraries would need to be consulted first. > I would definitely buy it. $4.95 sounds like a reasonable price for > what it does.

Furthermore once people pay for something they demand support 24x7. So for me it is not worth the hassle. I may be somewhat negative but it is a dull grey day, pouring rain with hurricane-like weather due and a swingeing govt. budget in 3 weeks as the whole economy tanks. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62060 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
