OT: It's Android Jim, but not as we know it (what CPUs does Livecode compile to?)

I don't have anything on the Android Market.  Unlike iOS, you can easily
install an APK that LiveCode has built, so I could email you a test app.
 You simply check the box in your security settings to allow an install from
unknown sources, then go to the attachment in your email to install it, and
afterwards uncheck allow unknown sources.
