Oh crap... Yes, that dialog is not suppose to popup every time. I knew I forgot to test something. Not quite sure why it sometimes pauses or skips back the music when it connects. I'll have to look into that. The UI of the Android version is a lot closer to the webOS version. Android didn't have many obvious UI conventions, so I just copied the ones from webOS. Windows Phone came with such a rich and well defined set of UI conventions, I adapted the app to better fit the platform. The Android version also has more features than the Windows Phone version, since Android doesn't have many limits to what an app can do. You know, in some ways Android is becoming more like webOS. For example, in Android 5.0 notifications are shown on the lock screen just like it did on webOS. I guess this is not too surprising since the lead UI designer for webOS is now the lead UI designer for Android. Overall I think Windows Phone is a very smooth, attractive and simple to use OS and it's great if you're not too demanding about what you can do with your phone. Basically a good alternative to iOS (with the exception of not having as many apps). However if you miss all the different things that a wide open system like webOS allowed you to do, then Android is probably a better fit. -------------- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101661 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
