Oooopsss.

Neural flatulence.

You said android and my mind went to this touch book.  I have no idea 
how that association was made.

I understand Phil's remarks now.

I have insufficient experience or knowledge to know anything about 
android and its suitability for our purposes.

People seem interested in developing for Android, and it might help MEP greatly to go in this direction. What do you all think?
