[BRLTTY] Android app?

[Mallard]

Dave,
I did select the device.

I'll check the bluetooth thing, although I don't seem to have any 
problems with that, and set the log level to Debug. My son isn't here to 
get the log right now, but I'll send it tomorrow for sure.

One thing I love about open source is just the possibility of working 
together, devs and users, to make things better all the time.
I worked as a translator at IBM, and by translating technical manuals I 
understood the importance of troubleshooting nad debugging...
I'm not a techie at all, but my friends say I compensate for 
incompetence with patience LOL...
I don't know how useful that is, but it often works.
Ciao,
Ollie
