Your interest in this has been noted! That's about all we are prepared to say right now.

I was gonna suggest MAC filtering for any one who is using a router as their server and not the console. I don't think the ION is capable of it as of now (I could be wrong). Either that or just disable DHCP and go with a static IP setup. Either method will work, however be aware that it is relatively easy for a determined person to crack wireless networks. Even one with MAC filtering, and WEP encryption. The best method for securing your network work is WPA with a really long random password, MAC address filtering and do not broadcast your SSID. That may be a bit extreme for some users that dont have mailicious users. If all you are worried about is a joker bringing up a light to mess with the bord op you probably dont need to go that far.
rkilpatrick's point about wireless security is valid, but I have a different mindset. During a performance, I wouldn't want any unauthorized or authorized people bringing up channels from the iRFR. The best way to guarantee that level of security is unplugging the wap.
Your message has been heard. Thank you all for your input.

Any new developments on this? I would certainly want it as well!

Anne! Thank you...any idea on how soon this may come?
Rick
Yes. And can we leave it there for right now? Will let you all know as soon as we can.
Thanks much!

THANKS!
Rick
You make me so happy! (Release-date?! ;D)
Hi Anne,
Is there any news on this? It's been 3 months since your last post on this subject...
Many thanks,
J
We are in development debug now. This is a bit more problematic than the iphone version because of the variability in Android devices.
I will advise you all when we are ready for beta.

Thanks Anne!! :)
Are you planning to support all Androids? I am considering getting one soon, and of course an iRFR on my phone would be very useful. Are there particular Androids you'd suggest over others?
Thanks,
David.
I would expect to see certain minimums... like screen resolution and android version, those seem to be common among programs. Just don't make it Gingerbread only, those of us original Droids still in FroYo would be left out! (Gingerbread = 2.3, Froyo = 2.2 for the uninitiated into Google's Dessert-naming scheme :-P )
Seriously, though, I'll bet there are statistics about what are the most common OS versions and hardware specs and the like, and I am sure that those factors are all things that have to go into ETC's consideration about the apps.
