How does this app compare to the other BOINC apps for android? What are the differences?

Also, does this mean that there will be a GPUGRID work for android?

The Crunch on Your Smartphone Usage Model:

1) tweet about how you're doing BOINC on your phone and it's the coolest thing ever
2) update Facebook page about how you just tweeted about doing the coolest thing ever
3) put phone in pocket and leave for work
4) notice phone in pocket is HOT
5) get to work, take out phone to update Facebook page you just arrived at work and discover phone is now cold..... because battery is dead
6) use work computer to update Facebook page that your phone battery is dead and you're recharging it now
7) repeat 6) 10 more times before you get home from work
8) repeat 1) through 7) until you realize it's impossible to crunch unless the phone is constantly on the charger which then renders it useless as a mobile device
9) uninstall BOINC
10) tweet about how installing BOINC on your phone was the dumbest thing ever
11) read all the other tweets about people discovering that their cell phone battery has a maximum number of recharges and how crunching just reduced the life of their battery from 2 years to 2 months
12) realize that the only reason the phone companies support BOINC is to make themselves look good
13) read the stats that after 5 months of crunching 24/7, 2 million cell phones did the same amount of work as 1 P4 desktop
14) tweet "What's a P4 desktop and where can I get one, I hear it can do the same work as 2 million cell phones... that's the coolest thing ever!"

I do charge my phone over night, when I sleep! I do run BOINC only when phone is charged 100%. Still manage to get the Einstein WUs (and the one GPUGRID WU that worked) done within the allowed max. time.

Said so, that is how I think the projects should design their WUs for ANDROID, get the work done in the given time, when you are asleep, not for crunching 24/7.

If your focus on maximum points then you are right, buy PC and a GPU and crunch with linux! By the way: Dagorath, thanks for your linux thread! Very interesting.

Indeed Dagorath, the point is to crunch while charging it overnight. I cannot imagine people crunching during the day and killing their phones battery. Hence why Samsung also calls it power sleep :)

OK, I'm in which means I'll give it a try but as someone else said... task sizes and deadlines are going to have to be tailored to the usage pattern of crunching only while charging. I don't use my cell phone much and find I need to charge it only once per week. I'll try to remember to charge nightly but that might not happen so it might take me a month to return a result. If it doesn't work for me I'll just chalk it up to the fact that some things aren't suitable for everybody but I hope project admins are extremely lenient with deadlines else I fear it's not going to work for a lot of people.

If it does work as simple and easy as they make it sound then with HTC and Samsung pushing it, this could be the biggest free BOINC promo to date. It might even encourage people who have never heard of BOINC to install BOINC on their desktops.

How's this going to work on Apple gear? Will they make users download tasks from iTasks at a cost of $1.50 per task? Will iHeads pay and tout it as another benefit of owning an iPhone that you can't get on any other brand?

I dunno, it seems smart enough to me. I think the battery lasts a week because I rarely turn it on. I turn it on when I need to make a call and when the call is over I turn it off. See I have the thing as a convenience for me not as a convenience for other people. If they want to talk to me they can leave a voicemail and I'll get back to them if and when I feel like it. Otherwise they can email me. I'm hearing impaired, don't like talking to people unless they talk really loud or I can read their lips. Email is better.

What's the world coming to? Soon we will be crunching on shirt buttons and then on implants in our brains run by the electrical power of our own thoughts. We could replace our fingernails with photo voltaic cells and generate power for the grid.
