Re: [PLUG] idle curiosity

Processing power and latency would be your bottle-necks on a mobile device.  

Fortunately/unfortunately android doesn't have specific hardware (ala iPhone), so any Android App for music would have shoddy, and at least inconsistent, performance across devices.

Just don't see that making sense yet from a Dev/business standpoint.  Could be done now, but you'd just need a phone that could handle it.

Apologies - I was speaking more along the lines of semi-pro recording and musical instrument modification (stomp box/effect modeling).  You have to buy an expensive hardware converter but you can plug a guitar into an iDevice and emulate pedals and amplifiers.

iDevices seem to be able to run all sorts of recording and
sound-tweaking software. Is there any reason androids can't, aside
from someone writing the software?

It's very difficult to proclaim moral superiority without this
capability :)
