Re: Re: Shadow for Android? (Bump)

	That is the rub; it is not a small undertaking -- its easy to come 
up with 'yet another' simple app (which is what the "App Store" models 
encourage), but to actually make a pretty good application with fancer 
features and all the 'cloud sync' and all that -- its quite a bit of work. 
ie: IT is easy to come into such markets and knock off the bottom feeders, 
but to take top position is a whole other matter.

	I am currently not able to adopt such an extra load (I'm maxxed 
out with current projects), but it is something I revisit every couple of 
months.

# Unfortunately, programming for Android is an entirely different environment than Palm OS.  The language is different (Java vs. C), the OS frameworks are different (Palm OS "databases" vs. files), and the coding idioms are different.  Jeff would be starting nearly from scratch.   It would take months, and we're talking tens of thousands of dollars of programmer time, here.
