Nice! I missed that blog. So that this mean that plain vanilla Android still does not have proper BiDi support? You didn't say it explicitely, but I understand from what you wrote that you choose JNI to access ICU for your BiDi solution. Was that JNI layer ever introduced to the open source

I have heard that the Hebrew on Android devices is lacking. Orange does not have a Galaxy to test drive at the moment, so could any Android users let me know of any (all) problems with Android devices? Hebrew- and non-Hebrew related. Thanks. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il

Hi, Here is something interesting: Cellcom sells the Motorola Milestone, which is Android 2.1 with full hebrew support. I don't know any people inside Motorola who did the hebrew (or perhaps it was done by a third party?), but maybe we can convince Motorola to donate the hebrew modifications back
