StarTools for Android Tech Demo released w/techy write-up

Post by admin »

Hi all,

A Tech Demo of StarTools for Android is now available in the download section.

This is an unsupported technology demo for Android. It is fully functional, but save functionality is disabled. To load an image, place it in the root of your /sdcard and name it 'file.tiff' (even if it's a png or bmp file). Tapping 'Open' will open this - and only this - file. The resolution that you will be able to process successfully is heavily dependent on the amount of memory your device has. 1GB or more is highly recommended. Again, this is not a release version. Use at your own risk.

I've also done a write-up on how I did it and how this version's performance compares against that of a netbook (spoiler: it's faster in some areas on my Samsung galaxy S3 !).

Cheers,
Ivo Jager
