    I know FOF loves Apple and its products (makes sense since the Apple provided the necessary tools for the success of this, fabulous, podcast), but I hope that Google’s actions make FOF’s creators think about being more Android friendly.
    Why only focus on an iPod app? and not also on an app for the Android? At least with Android you are guaranteed not to be blocked/censored just becuase the content seems distasteful to Apple.
    Google is consistently amongst the most gay-friendly companies in the world, and they are big advocates of freedom of speech and the free flow of information. Something vital for the gay community.
    Please show Google and the Android more love FOF.

      Thanks for the comments, Google is one of the leading companies to work for LGBT employees and beyond. While I can’t speak for the site, nor for Marc & Fausto, here a few things to consider. First, when it comes to apps, Apple does have the “initial implementation lead” over the Android Market, plus controls the largest percentage of market share for smart phones.

      I’m not an application developer, so I have no idea how different the process is between the two, but based on Apples anti-opensource ways, I’m guessing the developmental differences are many, with each development process requiring seperate skill sets (i.e. two different developers needed).

      Secondly, such a feature as a Feast of Fun app”app,” requires development costs. What are the costs? Check out the link attached.
