Yeah, no kidding, especially when the worlwide quake data is
already online at the USGS site as both a list and as maps....
:-)

Who needs an app when you have the USGS site?  Don't want to pull
up a web browser?  How 'bout an RSS feed, then?  You could even
run an RSS to e-mail app at home, and have it e-mail you on the
'Droid when a new release comes in, either with all of the data
OR just a note saying there's data to be checked out.....

Now, a FREE app that monitors the RSS feed and displays the data
in as close to real time as the USGS site gets could be nice, but
I doubt anyone would pay for what they can get with a browser or
via RSS.  Just my $10.00 worth (inflation, you know....)
