Actually, that is no surprise. *The primary goal of corporate projects
is to maximize monetary profit, and our primary goal is technical
perfectionism just for the fun of it.

We can take paths that no company can afford. *It doesn't cost us a
single dollar, and doing only a mediocre software doesn't increase our
profit.

Knowing that, is it surprising that there is no Android/MeeGo port of
any commercial glide computer? *I talked to one vendor recently, and
the representative insisted that Windows CE is still a future-proof
platform... (even though Windows Phone 7 is not compatible)

I found an Android app for soaring called "gaggle". I have not used it
nor had a chance to play with it much. Might be worth a look.
