I never expected anything would be out already. Yeesh! I asked if anyone was "planning development" in this area and if not, put a bug in developers' ears (which I think has happened).

It's still interacting with hardware. Even though I took electrical engineering in school, my brain has been muddied this past half decade by pure computer programming only. Give me a website or some open-source software, and I can tweak it to do whatever I want. Give me access to hardware interaction like a touch screen, and I'll tinker, but I have zero experience with it.

Never heard of that, but makes sense. Thanks. Never meant to offend anyone or break some unwritten rule (I did check to see if, like XDA, you aren't supposed to post in here unless you made something yourself). I just wanted to spark discussion, which it seems I have.
