mnemosyne for playbook?

[ual...@gmail.com]

Does Mnemosyne install to the Blackberry Playbook? I've read lots of stuff online pointing to Blackberrys, but they all seem to reference smartphones instead of tablets.

I would be surprised if Mnemosyne ran on this device without
significant tinkering. At a minimum, it would required Python and
several libraries, and Qt.

Otherwise, there are two mobile clients with tight Mnemosyne
integration:

1. Mnemojojo is a J2ME (Mobile java) client. There is a special build
for Blackberry phones.

2. Mnemododo is an Android client.

Wikipedia suggests that Android apps may run on the playbook, but that
Java apps are not yet available:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry_PlayBook#Android_and_Java_application_support

So, it would seem that the standard Blackberry client (Mnemojojo) will
not work, but that the Android client (Mnemododo) might work.

It is very hard to give any guarantees for mobile devices other than
for standard Android devices with access to the Android Market, where
there are rarely any problems.

Hi Tim,

I'm not very technologically savvy, but here's what I did: I downloaded the USA States demo, converted the apk file to bar through http://apk2bar.unker.net/, then used DDPB to install it. It works, Tim, thanks! The downside for me, though, is that I can't purchase the Mnemododo app through Google Play because it's a Playbook...so, new problem. Any workarounds for that? (Currently trying to convince an Android-bearing friend to buy it for me - I feel like a kid by a liquor store.)

Other option is running Mnemosyne's webserver on your desktop machine,
and then doing the reviews in your browser on your Playbook, but that
requires network access, obviously.
