Exactly. Surely will have peeps port out the .apk file.

It is installed with Android 1.6. Even if some one manage to get the apk out, dunno whether it will support the upcoming Froyo for Desire.

yes . for sure.

hope can support higher resolution coz higher end android phones are 480x800 where as the A50 is only 320x480

Oi! 320x240 cannot solely survive on Google Maps!

eh? don't understand what you're trying to say

Oh you know EXACTLY what I'm saying (on behalf of Wildfire, Tattoo & future i5500 Corby users).

I really don't know wth you are trying to say, or if you actually understood what I was saying earlier

fyi, I don't appreciate the way you imply that I purposely pretend I don't understand what you are saying, because I really don't

You serious? You said you hope Garmin app can support higher end 480x800 android phone woh.

My Wildfire is only 320x240 resolution woh. Not all android apps can support multiple resolution woh.

Sorry if my statement made you uncomfortable.

This post has been edited by alpha0201: Aug 11 2010, 04:45 PM

then why don't you just say, "I hope it also supports lower res like 240x320".

The way you put it was as if I had any say in what resolution it supports, and that I specifically said that it should only support higher res android phones.

ok... hope this make you (and all any others) happy.

I sincerely hope that garmin for android supports resolutions of ALL andriod phones
