I could do that... I already thought about that. But I wanted to do it as an app to get some experience developing for Android. Android's built in VPN client config stuff is VERY limited. I'd like to make a new frontend for it that allows me to modify the Phase 1 and Phase 2 proposals and use XAUTH, and configure multiple tunnels that could be up simultaneously. Also, the app I want for my home automation system control is $100 on Android. A comparable one on the iPhone with more features is less than half the price. I have all of the tables for the commands to send and the decoding information for it, so I was thinking about making one the way I want it and selling it for less. $100 is a steep price for an app that doesn't quite do what I want. I found a couple of really cool dev platforms that allow you to write your app once and then compile for multiple platforms: - Titanium Developer - RhoMobile - PhoneGap I grabbed RhoMobile and am playing around with it. Titanium Developer is sweet, but you have to buy a monthly membership to view the tutorials. Being able to write the apps in Ruby or Python is huge for me since I don't know java at all and don't really have the desire to learn it. And, I can compile the app for BlackBerry, iPhone, and Android using a single codebase.
