What We Are Working On

It's been a little while since our last update for SteamDroid, but here's a quick note about what we've been up to.
1) First of all, we are implementing a licensing feature for our program to stay up-to-date with google's policies.  The average user will only notice a decrease in the program size by about 500KB, but this is a must-do.
2) The next thing we're working on is a landscape mode for you Droid users out there, as well as anyone else who has a landscape optimized phone.  Currently SteamDroid only supports portrait mode, so it might be frustrating when you turn your phone to pop out a physical keyboard and the screen doesn't rotate.  We'll be fixing this soon.
3) Finally, one of the biggest things we've been working on is adding support for the IAPWS-95 standard.  This standard is not optimized for quick computation like the '97 standard we currently use.  The '95 standard, however, is more accurate for thermodynamic calculations.  We expect to allow the user to toggle between the two standards.
Well, if you users have any suggestions for the developers, please comment either here on the blog or on the Android Marketplace, or you can always shoot us an email.
Thanks.
