You've probably answered this already, but I can't recall...
Are you planning on developing a droid version of FxCal? If so, when?
Thanks.

Sorry- No Droid FxCal version planned at this time.
I know the Droid is gaining popularity, but I still do not perceive the density in the crew force to justify the effort it would take for a complete rewrite/port.
Working on some other interesting projects, though....

Fair enough... I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and upgrade early to an iPhone on Sprint. I think I found a way to do it and keep it at $200. I'm doing this just for your app, appDude! :) It better be worth it ;) ...and well, I have a Mac, so it'll sync up more nicely to my phone now...

Using Safari and checking open time, each time I check on a trip and then try to go back to view the list of open time trips, the computer makes me resend the data every time, causing another ping on the open time counter. Using Firefox and a PC it would just go back to the previous page without actually pinging open time again.

Is there some setting I can adjust to make Safari just go to the last page viewed (open time) without having to resend the request?

I have even asked an Apple "Genius" about this and he couldn't come up with any way around it in Safari...when trolling open time I use the Firefox browser and it doesn't have that issue.

Open the trip up under a new tab, then just close the tab. No excessive pinging. Kind of a pain if you're checking several trips, but it's the only semi-workaround I know of.

Or, you can use Opera as your browser, you will never have the "resend" issue. The downside compared to Firefox is, it won't store your "viewed" open time trips in red.

A couple more thoughts on Android phones:

Practical - check the Android version running on the specific phone and the upgrades offered. Don't be the next guy to get a Droid Eris running Android 1.6 with no upgrades offered and rapidly diminishing app support. It might be free, but not a good deal. Google Nexus Prime might be the best of the Android phones, in that it has the least carrier meddling. (iPhones also do not suffer from carrier meddling with or controlling OS.)

Pedantic - "Droid" is used by Verizon to brand their phones. "Android" is the Google operating system. I suppose everyone knows what you mean.

Purchase Italian SIM card?

Leaving for Rome tomorrow. Anyone know where I can purchase an Italian SIM card once I arrive in order to use my Iphone 4s? Thanks.

I use ATT and have an Android that had to be unlocked in order to use another carrier's sim. The phone itself had a code that had to be cleared before any other sim, including overseas sim cards, would work.
I admit I am not familiar with the IPhone 4s limitations, but I think that I recall a similar limitation on a discussion re: jail breaking an IPhone some time back....
Anyone in the know????
