The cool thing is that the Android app runs from the exact same source code as the iPhone version. The different size Droid screens/tabs is making me do some user-interface adjustments when it starts up. That's the only reason for the Android delay. It works great on my Xoom right now. I intend to put in the Android Market for free within a month. I'll also be providing the full source code for it all with the hopes that someone will do more with it or just see how easy some of this GPS code is to write.rogerbum":2gufzwgv said:Since I have an Android phone, I wait to hear the reports from the i-Phone users. As long as none of you experience enlarged breasts, shrinking Adam's apples or a frequent desire to go shoe shopping, I'll download it.

Oh gosh, no. It uses absolutely no internet access for it's function. There's no reason for accessing the internet when it's just showing how far you are from the anchor. It requires the use of a real GPS connected (usually internal) and does no triangulation or any other method of getting position throughout the alarm period with any other radio.hardee":25tei9m7 said:Would this function require the phone to be on using "data" all night. As in would that use up a 4mg data limit per month in a hurry.
