As far as I know there is not an MGoDroid App in the works. I may be wrong though. I am a Droid user and I would love to see an app.

I would suggest emailing Brian with your offer about developing the app because he had asked a while ago if anyone wanted to develop a droid app. He might already have an app being developed.

There has been word for a while that an Android app is in the works, but nothing has come out of it yet. I'd love to have one and I'd be willing to pay for it. A widget would be awesome too, but I don't know what it takes to make one.
Trust me, I'm a scientist.

On the front page a while back Brian was offering a rev-share deal for an Android developer if someone could deliver. He said to email him if you thought you could do it.

I've got a friend

In a smart phone programming class here, and he mentioned to me that his term project would be coding for a droid based MGoBlog app. I don't know how serious or how far along he's going to get, though.

Someone is definitely working

Someone is definitely working on a droid app for a class at Michigan.
I've had conversations with your friend (or a classmate of his). I don't know for sure, but they seem to be making good progress.
I also suspect their is another, completely independent effort. But I haven't heard anthing from that.

I'm working on one, but as a full-time programmer, I can only work on it in my spare time. I've got the basic framework for connection Android to Drupal working with JSON (and XML-RPC, I think). I'm working on adding functionality (comment, create topic, etc.), and working around through Services and Views to get there. Hopefully I can build a simple framework out of all this and put the project on sourceforge or something similar.
Can you send me an email to talk about how you've got the services/views set up? My email is stewartj76@gmail.com That would be a big help.
If they get theirs done first, this will be a learning experience, but from what I've seen, there's a little more learning curve than you might expect. So now it turn into "can one professional dev working on nights and weekends build an app faster than 3 students working full-time?"

Community/Shared Source
Community/Shared Source
I think that having shared development (sourceforge, etc) would be great. It would allow the contributors to divide up the work (connection framework vs graphical interface). Also there'd less chance of the project dying if someone burns out or their life priorities change.
If you are interested in talking let me know.

I emailed Brian back in December about developing an Android app but never heard back. Let me know if you get any response. I'm sure we have enough developers lurking mgoblog to get something put together.

Another option mentioned the other day is an app called "Pulse" its basically a news reader but you can hav it follow any site and it does quite well tracking the main board topics.
You can also have it follow TomVH/Tim/Brians twitter pages as well.

I think an Android app would be cool, but to be honest, opening the site with the stock Android browser is lightning fast anyway (at least on a rooted Evo w/ Gingerbread via CyanogenMod). I'd totally get it to support the devs and Brian...but I could do without it.

An app would be outstanding. As mentioned above, Dolphin Browser HD does a good job. I switched to xScope and then back again when I found it had trouble resizing the front page on Evo.

I already +1 you just for considering the idea. Just bought a tablet and now longer have my iphone app with which to read Mgoblog.
This year will be the year of the android tablet - so many quality tablets w/ honeycomb are coming out that have some advantages over ipad/pod/touch/phone.

MGoDroid is nearing completion
Hey everyone,
As ericktho mentioned earlier in the thread, we have been working hard on an MGoBlog Android application, and it is very close to being published on the Market. There is a beta version of the application that anyone is free to try out in exchange for some helpful feedback and suggestions.
tl;dr MGoDroid actually exists, and will be released shortly
and I'd download an MGoApp ASAP.
On a side note for the Android users out there, the android market is available online. http://market.android.com
You click on apps, sign in with your google account, and it downloads to your phone. It's awesome
