Thoughs: yes. But I won't do it. There are plenty of Apps on Android. Android is a completely different animal for development in every respect so it will be a completely new development - especially UI wise. And I don't even find enough time to make enough progress with the other exciting things I try to get done so for myself: I'll stick to iOS.
I had tried to work with flattermann on his tablet version of SqueezeCommander but it looks like (this is a guess, I don't know) he currently doesn't find a lot of time to finish that. I know he's got a family and a daytime job to do and I also know that sales on Android don't justify to sacrifice a daytime job so he probably has to spend whatever time is left in the evening. When he originally developed SqueezeCommander he didn't have children. It's a general problem with Android: If you want to develop Apps for this platform, you either have to do it completely out of passion - something you have to be able to afford. The Squeezebox ecosystem - cool as it is - is quite heavy on support, there's a lot of things you have to explain users, usually around setup and Logitech isn't really of help here. Android is much worse than iOS here due to all the different platforms and OS versions. Or you have to do it in a completely commercial setup, where the App is just something that gets developed for a company that wants to provide it for other means or has a secondary business interest and can pay you to do it. Android doesn't have an "App economy" that allows a developer to justify sacrificing other jobs to do an App or even live off App sales. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
