· Added an option for Imperial units (in GEO tab).

What's new in Tricorder (Android) 5.0:

What's new in Tricorder (Android) 4.1:

· Quick fix to add help for the ACO tab.

What's new in Tricorder (Android) 4.0:

· Updated for Droid, and now based on Android 1.6. Will no longer install on Android 1.5 phones. Sorry, but we need to do this in order to be able to handle large screens (like Droid) correctly. Removed the useless ENV tab; realistically, even on devices with those sensors, it would never be useful. Added an ACO tab which displays an audio waveform, spectrum analyser, and power meter.

What's new in Tricorder (Android) 3.10:

· Fixed sound on the Droid; apparently Audacity saves MP3 files with a channel count of zero, and the Droid (unlike other phones) objects to this.

What's new in Tricorder (Android) 3.9:

· Hopefully fixed the EMS crash on Samsung; apparently Samsung requires the READ_PHONE_STATE permission where other phones don't.

What's new in Tricorder (Android) 3.8:

· Fixed yet more crashes, including hopefully some Hero issues. Fixed the bug with GRAV and MAG displays pointing the wrong way in landscape mode. Sound on Droid still doesn't work.

· Added the solar data plot. Note that this takes some time to load the first time you view it. Added neighboring cell info in the cellular signal display.

What's new in Tricorder (Android) 2.1:

· Now supports portrait and landscape QVGA and HVGA displays. Added relative mode, so you can (for example) zero the acceleration display with the device at rest, then see acceleration relative to that state. The graphs now scroll. The GRAV and MAG displays can now be zoomed (slide in the middle graph). There's an X/Y/Z plot alternative to the numeric display (touch it).
