Some apps don't run, and many run in a small window, but check others' posts re apps that work well full-screen.

If you're asking how to compile an app for android yourself - that's well beyond my skill level.

Re calendar/todo - ince I am an Exchange user at the office, I just use the Nitrodesk Touchdown app (superb!) to have my Outlook calendar/todo list on the eDGe. Haven't tried any other apps for this, but I think others have mentioned that some do indeed work (full-screen) on the edge.
How did you get Touchdown to work on the eDGe? I have a license to use it on my phone ...can i also use the same license on the eDGe?

Thanks
