Subject: Re: [PTGui] Local panos on Android HD tablet?
The only stand along viewer for Android I know of is Panodroid.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.frank_durr.panodroid
It is limited to equirectangular images. But it then converts them to faces. My
tablet handles 2048 pixels faces easily. My phone could not convert 8400X4200
pano to 1024 pixel faces.
It is very responsive. No zoom. It can display panos from local, from URL, or by
searching Flickr. I can not find anywhere on the device where the tiles are
cached. The pano was cached but loading the same pano with different tile size
from my home network even though the pano was cached it downloaded it again then
converted to faces before displaying.

Multiresolution flash player is probably the easiest way to go.
