I have been working on a Android client for Dreamwidth and LiveJournal based sites and am wondering what you would look for from the post entry screen.

ETA (Oct 30, 2010):This poll is now closed, thank you.

ETA: The lack of security options as a choice in the poll was a total oversight *g*, I did totally think of that, and was of course going to include it.

Thank you.

I just took the leap from Windows Mobile to Android with an HTC/T-Mobile G2, and suddenly the idea of using my phone for DW (posting and reading/commenting) is a big, big deal. So I was happy to see this.

If I can be a tester for my particular device, I'd be happy to. Thank you for working on this project!

Please fill out the poll at http://espost.dreamwidth.org/585.html so I can have a more centralized list of what devices you have access to for testing.
