Android phones run Linux. Most Android related IO-issues was solved when we moved away from libftdi and used JNI to call into java based serial-usb-for-android. > But this would probably require a separate build process.

What do you mean exactly by "Linux phone"? There are 10+ OSes for phones which uses Linux, please specify which one you're talking about. My guess is that none of them will displace any market, so from a pure user perspective they're all irrelevant. But if a developer has one and would like to port Subsurface-mobile to whatever platform go nuts. The amount of effort needed depends on the SDK for that platform and how well Qt supports that platform. For example, I'd guess its a 2-20h project to port Subsurface-mobile to Sailfish OS, and that's without usb/bluetooth support. //Anton -- Anton Lundin +46702-161604 _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
