Sweet! Now just gotta get one of those phones....

I held out for a while on getting a smart phone, but finally took the plunge with Android. I think this will prove to be a good choice because of the open source approach Google has taken and the quality of their development tools.

WOW! that's awesome! great work keep it up.

So this is using 802.11. The JVM is actually fast enough to convert the JPEG's into RGB & blit video using Canvas.drawBitmap. If it was a hobby you could replace the Android stack & run it in C, but obviously to support a business you need to stick with Java. Wonder if the console can run out of the box on a laptop JVM or if it took some Android hacks.

Yes - direct 802.11 or the 3G phone network routed to an 802.11 network.

The Android API is specific to the device, but we have a couple of other Java consoles that you could use as the basis for a laptop console. Take a look at SRV1Test.java or SRV1Console.java. SRV1Test.java is simply compiled with "javac -classpath . SRV1Test.java", and it supports TCP or UDP connections.

AWESOME!!!, do you think that i would be able to transmit a video feed from an android device w/ 3G to a server on real time?

Comment by Howard Gordon on November 8, 2009 at 8:23am

Don't know. We're only using Android to receive and using the SRV-1 Blackfin board to transmit via Wifi.
