Aki,

If you were a woman I would propose to you... but on second thought, I would
not...you are too generous and we all know that is not favorable in all
situations. Nice ideas, especially the GPS mapping. Question, as a developer
pool and IT pros, I think we should form something like a developer group,
probably non-profit, make it dedicated to developing such ideas with or
without grants.

The thing is there is so much to do and when projects get to a certain
point, they get easy to run.

Am thinking its time we did this.

David.

@David, lol! You are welcome. :-)

On a serious note we should do what you propose, though I do not count
myself as a dev until have a finished a software product that has some
sales success. All in due course......

In the meantime, let's also push others to achieve their goals and
dreams. Ideas are plenty to go about, nearly everthing around us is
begging to be improved, better implemented or even taken to new
levels. And now there is a chance to change things.

Rgds.

The other day I was trying to download Google Mail for mobile on my pc,
nothing seemed to work so out of desperation, some folk suggested I use an
emulator, which I did but it didn't work either, I used this one:
