Not available for HTC G1. I believe most Android phones out there in the wild are 1st generation, be sure to let us know when you release a version for us early adopter-types..
(Edit) I didn't intend to sound so snarky here, I just really wanted your app, its very beautiful.. Thank you for building it.
Wow! This is great, in the time it took me to go see 'Avatar' in Imax3D you iterated your way right into taking up permanent real estate on my G1's homescreen!
Thank you very much Mr Trager, I like what you did. I have been using another Icombinator IPhone/Android App but yours is more pleasing to the eye.
One concern, it seems I have a choice of running the Op's links or the comments? But not both at the same time? In this respect the other Fella's mobile App seems like a better UI..
An offtopic here, but I just wanted to say I was pleasantly surprised with how blazing fast your blog is (including leaving comments).
I was even more surprised when I saw what it was running on: http://www.dotnetblogengine.net (because I'd never heard of it and not because it's .NET - the speed actually makes sense now).
I just uploaded a newer version to the market that should work with Android 1.6 (G1). However, I couldn't compile for 1.1 and 1.5. The compiler complained about my "res" folder. If folks want to point me in the right direction, how to learn more about this stuff, how to handle versioning with Android and the Market, I'm open.
According to the following the white-on-black display uses less power. Also, I found that once I altered a little bit of the default color scheme I had to alter ALL of it somehow, like changing the background and text color would mess up the border and highlighting color. It's an area where I need to do some more learning.
When building the binary, set target/use SDK for Android 1.5 (or even 1.1, if you can). The older handsets will be able to run it too.
Android 2.1 is currently running only on Nexus One, 2.0 is Motorola Milestone/Droid, HTC G1 and HTC Magic are 1.6, HTC Hero and Samsung Galaxy are 1.5.
On Android too, if you use the browser on Android, you can interact with Hacker News same as usual, login, vote, etc. But you'll find yourself zooming and panning a lot. The rest of this comment is off topic: Speaking of voting, here are two people asking about voting at Hacker News, but yesterday was an election in Illinois with Obama's old senate seat at stake, and not one of about two dozen co-workers I talked to bothered to vote. There's more interest in voting for a Hacker News article than for a US Senator?
