I am deeply shocked at audible.com for not having an app for Android. They claim that “the Android media player does not allow playback of our titles“… right. Anyway they are now attempting to get the ball rolling for an App for Android in 2010. There’s a signup for upcoming beta testing on their website and I urge every Android user (or user to be) to sign up and put a little bit more pressure on them.
Android is a great mobile platform and companies like Audible.com (an Amazon associate) are stalling its growth with short sightedness.

Done, I emailed them and told them I was very interested. Hopefully they’ll actually do something instead of just talking about it like some other companies….
They’ve been working on an app since atlease 12/09, last I heard its expected to come out this summer.
Good to hear that, hope it does come out in the summer. Thanks for the info.
