The Big Picture - The Boston Globe

[monitize]

I'm a fan of The Big Picture series on The Boston Globe. Basically they summarize global event in pictures, updated every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

There is already an app for iPhone/iPod Touch which does a pretty good job.

I think similar app would glow beautifully on a Nexus One. The RSS and the website is quite easy to parse. I would make the App if I know anything about developing Android apps.

Thanks for any developer who is interested and pick this up.

And here is just some breath taking photos from the last Winter Olympic:

Interesting! That could be fun to code... and not that advanced, I suppose; just a list viewer, text, image viewer, a link, and parsing some RSS in-between. Probably an excellent starter project for someone wanting to ramp up on Android development.

I also like to see an app to see The Big Pictures on my phone.

That doesn't sound hard to develop but I don't have time to work on another app.

Sorry, The Big Picture for Android removed from the Android Market

There is now an official Big Picture app available in the Android Marketplace. It supports tablets and phones (Android 2.2+).

Except the official app does half of what my app did, does them badly and is not available in a free limited version...

Any help would be great
