[clug] Idea for an Android project or a possible big headache?

[jm]

Thanks for the info. Farebot looks like an interesting and useful 
program. Would still be nice to see something for Action's MyWay even if 
it was proprietary.

NFC seems to be a technology that has much potential but, at least, I'm 
not seeing much use being made of it.
