I use DVD Profiler since years on PC and WindowsMobile Phones. Now I've changed to Samsung's Galaxy Tab with Android 2.2. It's the best I ever owned - the only thing I miss is DVD Profiler for Android!
I hope you can help me. I count on you, guys!

Best regards!

I live in France (so sorry  for my english)

In France we are talking about Android which have just go first and Iphone in second place in US.

I should not understand if an Android Dvdprofiler will not exist.

Since many years, I use dvd profiler for windows and for mobil phone but since I changed for a Samsung Galaxy S, I am not able to use it with my phone.

Everybody go to Android. If Invelos not, it is the dead of Invelos because other software will take place.

Best regards

LOL...

a) Nokia is going to Microsoft, so not everybody bets on Android.
b) Invelos won't die even without Android. What has Android to do with the Win Mobile Version, the iOs version, the PC version?
c) For every system there are alternatives to DVD Profiler, but I found on no system something better...

A.  Misery loves company. 
B.  It will become less popular as other complete solutions take its place.  I've replaced it and at this point I'm not sure I will come back.
C.  I have found something different.  Not better, not worse (on the PC).  It just works on my phone which is the one thing I need.

I believe lost in Jean-Jacques translation is the fact that he, like me, will find an alternative if we have to.

Well stated dewd.  I adore DVDProfiler and have in fact recommended it countless times to friends and family.  That said, I must begin to looking elsewhere for programs that fits both my PC & mobile needs.  I loathe all things Apple and while my aging HTC Tilt has suited my basic needs to date, it’s profoundly dated in feel and function.  I’ll be Androiding my life up a bit shortly here and feel I have no other recourse but to go to jump ship.  I still have hopes that Ken will deliver an Android port but I agree it may come too late for a large portion of his appreciative and loyal followers.

I too would like to see an android app as I want a choice to what new phone I get. Ever since I purchase my license for DVDProfile back in 2001, I wanted to carry it on my phone.

After a failed Windows Phone 7 (Being a WinMo fan) adventure I'm on to a new OS... And the chosen OS was Android (Nexus S with 2.3).

So... Give us our movie list on our Android device!

I have to admit that my comment was a bit snoody, and that this was uncalled for. Sorry. 

I also prefer Ken making an Android version (and for personal reasons had prefered it if he stayed away from Apple; but that's another topic...), but even if he doesn't it isn't the death of Invelos. That's highly exaggerated.
At the moment Windows Phone 7 plays no big role, agreed, and I'm not a big fan of microsoft, but one crappy OS doesn't mean Microsoft is dead.
Vista was according to reviews dead in water before it was released, but how many people really turned to Apple or Linux? Very few. Most justed waited for the next Windows version and stayed on XP or got used to Vista.

I'm pretty sure that Microsoft will pretty soon announce Windows Phone 8 and even if it takes a year or so, people will again start to bet on this horse. Quite some companies and governments tried banning Windows and started to use Linux, but in most cases it took just 1-2 years before going back to Windows, because the employees wouldn't adjust fast enough. Sad, but true.

Best thing IMHO would be if Ken starts from scratch to program DVD Profiler in a cross-platform-languange like Java, with different layouts available for the different phones and the PC. This way he would have only one version to maintain and bugfix, otherwise (PC Version, Win Mobile 6.5, iOS, Android...) it seems impossible according to the fact that Ken works on this more or less alone.

As a developer myself, there are some fundamental problems with Android that appear reasonably daunting:

The is no Android phone. There is a wide range of phones/hardware platforms from a wide range of manufacturers that run some version of Android. This is fundamentally different to the iPhone environment.

These phones run a range of versions of Android, all modified for the various hardware platforms.

Android version releases are controlled by the carriers, rather than Google, and this contributes hugely to the multiple versions in the wild, as carriers do not want to upgrade the version on your phone. They want to sell you a new phone, and block or delay releases to stimuate this. Again, this is fundamentally different to the iPhone, where Apple controls version releases and the carriers have no say in this, as they shouldn't.

Google releases new versions of Android frequently. Too frequently. This adds to the fragmentation of the platform.

Current phone versions of Android do not run well on tablets. This means another new version of Android, and it is unclear at the moment how the phone version and the tablet version will line up. Certainly, the Motorola Xoom release has not done much to inspire confidence.

All of this means that any developer looking at porting a significant application like DVDProfiler to the Android platform must have some concerns on how to manage this.

Same as WinMo. And there is a WinMo version.

There are problems with different hardware an iPhony too... Just search for it. e.i. programs than run on one but not and older device.

Not true, the OS is the same on all devices (if they are the same version.) only what is installed on top is different from the either the carrier or the maker.

A bit colored?

Even more colored?

2.3 works just fine... And we are still in the beginning of the Android OS. v2.3... Please compare that to any other OS in v2.3 or there about and say they had less problems. Guess you can't.

Not that hard. It's much easier (and cheaper) to make an Android (or WinMo) program than an iOS. Since only Apple charge for SDK.

So only good thing I can say about Apple policies is that that they will lead to their death. When people learn that George Orwell was describing the Apple world...

Sigh. This is the problem. You can't have these discussions without Android fanboys coming out of the woodwork to pollute the discussion with their rabid comments.

Your comments clearly indicate that you are not a developer, just a fanboy.

No I'm not... Since I've only had my Android device for nine days... And developed for Pocket PC since 2001 and Android since late last year... So nice try Apple fanboy...

So if you call people than can see the errors in Apples products for Android fanboys then my best friend is a Android fanboy without having an Android device and by his own account never will.
