I've looked at what it would take to get our existing solution to work on Android, and it does look possible, but since I don't have a device not something I'm launched myself.

Long story short (I'm trimming out the super technical talk) we only use SDL for a few things that could be easily replaced with equivalent API's on Android--and the Java barrier handled through their NDK. There also would be quite an engineering effort involved since the Android isn't as linux friendly, at least not by default (libc, dynamic libraries).

So someone who wanted to definitely could, and I'd happily help them. And finally my comments above are from the 10' distance I've looked into it, I haven't investigated this fully, so don't hold me to it :).]]>Apr 10th 2010 8:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/Apr 9th 2010 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/Apr 9th 2010 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/Apr 9th 2010 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/
Don't worry man. You rock. If you had shortened it someone would have said you were being deceptive about loading times or something.

Anyway, what I was trying to say is that your getting apps that weren't designed with a small screen, finger-based input scheme in mind might not be terribly useful. So being able to run them is going to be entertaining, sure, but how many such apps are actually going to be usable? On the other hand the Pre does have a physical keyboard, so maybe that helps to make them more usable. I still have my doubts that the translation is going to be all that useful. Perhaps in your AbiWord video you can show how it functions in a practical sense. Actually using it.]]>Apr 9th 2010 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/Apr 9th 2010 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/Apr 9th 2010 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/Apr 9th 2010 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/Wine = Windows apps on the Pre, ya?]]>Apr 9th 2010 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/webos-port-of-xorg-in-the-works-openoffice-support-the-inevitab/

And well turns out, it's not only possible to run OpenOffice on the N900 (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=33228), but there is even an dedicated version of Abiword for Maemo (http://my-maemo.com/software/applications.php?name=AbiWord&faq=39&fldAuto=1138). Oh and apperently there is a version of Gnumeric for the N900 as well (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=490201&postcount=1).

Sorry if this is already old news, just felt like sharing. Well still quite surprised that this is all availabe.
