At first, I'm a M92 user (order is placed and my device is going to arrive in the next few days). Please note, that I'm a more or less untalented hobby coder - not more. So if I decide to write more than a single line of code for this device, I want it to give a good return.

Again: If you want to convince anybody in this whole world with programming abilities to port Android to the Boox series of devices you need to name real _reasons_. Not only stuff like "would be cool to have android", "there is this certain app I'd like to have".

A developer makes the decision between contributing to Onyx' official open source firmware or trying to port Android. And to make this decision he definitely needs concrete information about _feature_ requests, not _app_ requests. Of course, it's helpful if you name a concrete app that already has this feature, but the name of the app without a single feature is not very helpful.

EDIT: Sorry, I'm ranting so much. You obviously already got the point:

But others should really start talking about functionality _and_ about applications. (Unfortunately I can't contribute to feature requests myself at the moment since my M92 is still about to arrive.)
