[Electronics-talk] Assistance with I phone

[Mike Freeman]

The NLS app is not available for Android phones yet although I've heard via
the grapevine that work is beginning to be done on such an app.

Dunno if NBP has books on Android systems or not.

Does anyone know if it has anything for Android users as well?

Also, as the NLS app is on the i-phone, is it available on the android and
if so what is it under?
