Hi,
There's been several requests for a mobile version of OpenRocket. Behind the scenes, Kevin Ruland has been doing some amazing progress on cleaning up the OpenRocket code and making it run as an Android application.
Now we'd like to ask some input from the crowd that would actually be using it. Above all we're interested in two things:
Just to be clear, this is a major uptake and we make no promises on when it will be ready/usable. And not to raise too many expectations, the first versions will likely be very limited in functionality.
Before anyone asks it, OR is unlikely to be ported to other mobile platforms anytime soon. Porting to Android is significantly easier than any other platforms since it is natively coded in Java. Other platforms would require major rewriting of the code.
Cheers,
Sampo N.

Now we'd like to ask some input from the crowd that would actually be using it. Above all we're interested in two things:
- What kind of device would you be running OR on? A mobile phone, a small tablet, a large tablet? Would you have a network connection available when using OR?
- What features would you be most interested in in a mobile version of OR?
Just to be clear, this is a major uptake and we make no promises on when it will be ready/usable. And not to raise too many expectations, the first versions will likely be very limited in functionality.
