There is a lot of open source software not in F-Droid, have a look at the request queue: http://f-droid.org/forums/forum/submission-queue/ Unfortunately this is just a forum, there is no tracking of which ones have been included. A while ago I tried to get Tram Hunter included, however haven't seen or heard anything since: http://f-droid.org/forums/topic/tram-hunter/ I could generate a list of open source software that is useful in Android market but not in F-Droid, however not really sure this is useful based on my experiences with the above request. I don't think there is any software in F-Droid (correct me if I am wrong) that is designed for tablets. In fact some software from F-Droid looks awful on tablets (everything, including menus, scaled up to fill the screen). I submitted a related feature request: http://f-droid.org/forums/topic/feature-request-tablets/ -- Brian May <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Free-software-melb mailing list [email protected] http://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb
