We recently updated our Android apps!

We recently updated our Android apps and compiled them with the latest 3.2 API! Our newer app can be found here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tpcs.Astronomy This new 3.2 API ads a nifty zoom feature that allows the app to adjust its size to your various screen sizes. You may still download this app with older Droid versions, as your device will auto download the appropriate version (1.5 API or 3.2 API) based on your device's abilities. Thanks, Dave
