That sounds awesome!
I know I can't do this.
Since we got some ppl developing android & iphone apps at work, I know what i'm saying. I'm more the sysadmin and webdeveloper type of guy.
Though I know the basics on Android Apps, I really don't like Java.
What you might wanna look into (some ressources):
For building something that (should) work equally on both platforms
PhoneGap (Webapps in Javascript accessing native phone callbacks) - still beta, but free Source
Titanium (compile JS to ObjectiveC or something) - doesn't work as nicely as the styled up Website suggests
closed source
Also you can now punch interpreted Code into that Android (finally not Java
): Perl,Python,Lua,JavaScript even Bash hacking via the Android Scripting Engine. (
android-scripting - Project Hosting on Google Code )
Not sure though if that's a viable way already, it's supposed to be useable from .apk's shortly.
Hope that helps.
Well whatever way you go it would be nice to have some integration of the website into those Apps (forums, chat, playlist). Some nice Ideas mentioned already.
That however would best be realized through a Dataprovider / API on the server side of things, where I might be able to help you out with some coding (depending on the stuff/prog. languages/systems you use on the servers and my little sparetime). Or some advanced HTML/CSS/JS stuff.
No idea If that's part of the job description, so I'm rather asking first.
If I can do something for my favorite radio station let me know. If you want more info please short PM or Mail, i'm not leaving my full skillset on the net (got too much work as it is already
)
Good luck with building some massive App. I'd certainly help with some betatesting on my Android device.
