Me and my partner develop Android mobile products, development & design. We enjoy working together with an internal team to give Android the effort it deserves.

The second large ISP in Portugal has FON active by default on their routers. It's really easy to find one here.

Yup, that's how I usually picture it, change the values to a collection of sin and cos functions.

When I started explaining it to some computer science students, it helped by giving a particular example of its usefulness:

Sound is composed of waves so, when you want to send a music to a friend it's all a bunch of values like [0, 1, 2, 1, 0, -1 , -2, -1, 0, ...]. If you know they're going to look like waves (sinusoidal functions) why not just send your friend how much they look like sin or cos? The values back there were just a 2sin(x) so why not just send them the value [2]?

You could save a lot of bandwidth. You just need to "correlate" sounds with a bunch of sin or cos functions everybody agrees on :)

Bonus: you can add the phase values, 2 sin(x + phase), to get the beats just right.

We're working on a video that will explain the usefulness of the service, like someone having to aggregate multimedia content for a specific purpose and using it. But probably a simple description wouldn't hurt.

Impatiently waiting for an Android version.

Just added the database server locations. All use Amazon EC2, but MongoLab also offers databases on the Rackspace cloud.

Mongo Machine already has dedicated plans, and MongoLab's are currently alpha.

Thanks for mentioning it! I added the dedicated plan row to the comparison table.

They're not giving invites to registered users, but they sent me one a few days after I signed up.

It remembers me of another article, about producers and consumers: "The Single Most Important Career Question You Can Ask Yourself" http://www.softwarebyrob.com/2008/05/18/the-single-most-impo...

If you’ve been reading startup blogs for years and never started anything, it’s time to accept that your tendency is to be a consumer. It’s not to say you can’t break out of that classification by starting something, but if you haven’t done it thus far you’re not likely to do it soon without some external motivation (maybe this post?).

If you have 50 software product ideas and your hard drive is littered with folders containing 30 lines of code from each, you tend towards being a consumer (or at least a producer who has trouble finishing things).

And if you figure out that you are a producer, stop daydreaming about the day you’ll make things happen. Start making it happen in the next 30 days, or forever hold your peace.

Once again, is the ability to ship something the major distinction.
