You're right, and I use Excel for lots of stuff, including a list of all my quilting tools and machine feet, patterns, etc. but I don't think I can get Excel on iPad because it's not Apple. Anyone know how to make this work?

I got a Galaxy S (Android) for Christmas and would love to find quilting apps for it! If anyone finds any please share!

I love my phone :-D

I don't believe the Apple apps can be run on Android devices. They are a different operating system. The Android market is making new apps all the time so you should be able to find something if you keep searching :-) I had a hard time deciding between the Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Apple IPad. I went with the Apple even though I am not a big fan of over hyped Apple products.

You're right Apple apps will not work on an Android. I've only had my phone about a week so I'm still learning what's on the Android market.

I really have an aversion to Apple products after having to clean up a few computers that were running iTunes. It was the main reason that I went with a 'droid.

So I played with the quilters ap on my lunch hour it's fun to use there is only 121 different quilt blocks so I sent an email to the app support asking if blocks from quilters cache could be down loaded
