I originally thought about a tablet version especially since I already
have one for the Touchpad, but the UI design I used for the Touchpad
version would be difficult to duplicate on Android so I decided to hold
off until later. However, I had a pretty miserable time writing the app
on Android (it's a poorly thought out platform with a crappy API, but
that's a discussion for elsewhere...), so I'm not sure if I want to
submit myself to more pain. If Google wants people to write better
tablet apps, they need to provide some compelling tablet layout
structures in the API other than just side by side panels.

Besides, I'm getting a little tired of Squeezebox apps, this is the
third one I've written in three years. :)
