DUBwise for Android SDK 0.9-r1

I stopped working on DUBwise for Android while they kept the actual SDK secret under NDA's. Yesterday Google finally released Android SDK 0.9-r1.

Video: AN-72 Boogie Cochstedt 2008 - Mikrokopter Perspective

Some impressions from the AN-72 Boogie, including onboard footage from a Mikrokopter. Featuring Bird Men briefings on the ground, in-plane view of exit, skydivers landing, visitors, planes (Antonov AN-28 and PINK Skyvan), and some in-plane views of the exit. A great day for all of us!

P.S. the AN-72 got stuck in Moldavia...

Android Developer Challenge Submission

I submitted the Android Port of DUBwise to the Android Developer Challenge:



I wonder how "some time" is defined - I want to kow how they react ;-)
There are some mistakes in the PDF and in the app I submitted but i had to submit before deadline to be save - i had no deadline time info since the nice Timeout-Display on anddev.org broke with the site ( I get Forbidden Err) but i hope the Concept counts
