I know that Aaron likes to say that "we can't play the number-of-apps game"

even though it's not strictly a problem for their intended use in itself.
ah, but we don't need to play the number-of-apps game for these people.
it's perfectly fine if we don't have 100,000 apps covering every city
transit system, every sports league, etc, etc. we just a need a set of
good-to-great quality applications with educational focus. if we had 40-50
(or, dreaming, 100 :) such apps, we'd be able to compete quite effectively
based on functionality provided that is relevant to this audience.
I agree that a much smaller number of apps is sufficient. But what is the
reality or actual need is not always reflected in purchasing decisions. A
purchase is done for many different reasons and I suspect that having few apps
will be a liability when the decision is made, no matter if it should or not.
for the long term I don't think we should dismiss compatibility with Android
out of hand.
no one is dismissing it, but someone needs to do the actual work (and then
maintain it)
Hi,
I agree to the importance of having a solid base of apps is part of
appealing to a broader target audience
that right now uses non-free tablet solutions for the lack of free
alternatives.
Therefore regarding Android:
Is there anyone in KDE who knows how such a compatibilty layer could be
done and capable of doing the work?
I could imagine Blue Systems to sponsor this specific project if there
is any volunteer with a sound plan.
Greetings, Clemens.
