			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I posted an update to the Android Reality Show Voter app.  This version adds dialer support.  Shows like American Idol and Dancing with the Stars only allow text votes from AT&T customers.  By using the dialer you can vote on any show.</p>
<p>Please Note: There is a limitation with Android that cannot be worked around. Android requires the back button be pushed after each call.  There is nothing I can do about that, so please don't post negative comments because of it.</p>
<p>Having said that, there are still advantages to using the Reality Show Voter than just doing plain dialing:</p>
<ul>
<li>The App can rotate through up to three contestants</li>
<li>Simple one key press per call</li>
<li>Keeps track of number of calls that made it through</li>
</ul>

<br />
I published an Android application!  It's called Reality Show Voter.  The application allows you to vote for your favorite stars on shows like American Idol or Dancing with the Stars.  What differentiates this from other similar apps are the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Can save contestant info so it's not lost when you restart the application</li>
<li>Like more than one contestant? No problem.  You can specify up to three contestants to SMS in a rotating order.</li>
<li>Not stuck using pre-programmed numbers.</li>
</ul>
<p>This application can also be used for local radio contests that require you to text in to win.  Spam their inbox with Reality Show Voter.</p>
<p>I am very open to suggestions.  Please email <a href="mailto:%61%6E%64%72%6F%69%64%40%74%68%65%6E%75%6D%62%65%72%34%32%2E%6E%65%74"><span id="emob-naqebvq@gurahzore42.arg-28">android {at} thenumber42(.)net</span><script type="text/javascript">
    var mailNode = document.getElementById('emob-naqebvq@gurahzore42.arg-28');
    var linkNode = document.createElement('a');
    linkNode.setAttribute('href', "mailto:%61%6E%64%72%6F%69%64%40%74%68%65%6E%75%6D%62%65%72%34%32%2E%6E%65%74");
    tNode = document.createTextNode("android {at} thenumber42(.)net");
    linkNode.appendChild(tNode);
    linkNode.setAttribute('id', "emob-naqebvq@gurahzore42.arg-28");
    mailNode.parentNode.replaceChild(linkNode, mailNode);
</script></a> with comments and suggestions.</p>
<p>NOTE: Android restricts the number of text messages that an application can send to 100 per hour.  After sending 100 text messages a dialog will pop up asking you to confirm each message.  There is nothing I can do about this.  However, it is much easier to keep hitting OK than to create a new text message over and over again.</p>
