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

I've been very grateful for the ease of installation on Android. There 
are so many more ways to do an installation than Apple provides, and 
it's always very easy.

The problem with email on a store device is that Bernard would have to 
set up the display model with his email info. Given the versatility of 
Android, I was thinking of using my public folder in Dropbox. Then he 
could install the free Dropbox on the store model and just click on my 
test app in there. Or if the store doesn't mind, he could copy the app 
to a thumb drive, attach it to the device, and install that way.

At any rate, lots of options. The downside is that it is just as easy 
for someone to distribute malicious software. An Android user has to be 
more careful about that than iOS users.
