Hi, I'm actually an Android phone user but very interested in ur
pocketguitar apps. Is there any plan to write one for Android? :)

No, because of the technical reasons. Android has a very poor audio
API compared to iPhone. Looks like Google isn't interested in musical
instrument apps.

Oh, that's really a bad news. Perhaps, that's why there are very less
musical instrument apps in Android Market. (sigh)
But anyway, thanks for your reply.

PLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEEE??????

The sound on Android seems to be getting better, in my opinion. I got
the Samsung Vibrant recently and the sound is great.

I would pay good money for this app if it was available on the Droid
market. I hope you'll reconsider.

I believe there's no problem with the sound quality of Android phones,
but only a limited kind of iPhone music apps can be ported to Android
because of the lack of real-time low latency audio API.
