first, sorry for not sending you an email as stated, but i just signed up and cannot use the email version yet as it turns out. sorry for the public reply to your question.

i always loved the wm version and used the 'regular' total cmd at work. so when i got my new android phone i was exited when i read there was an android version coming up.

i have a HTC desire HD with a 480x800 WVGA screen (4,3 inch/109mm screen). running froyo (2.2 android). phone is rooted and i have super user access.

i would love to use the program when it's available and if i can give a little back for all those years of hassle free usage i'd be delighted. so if i could be of any help as a beta tester count me in.

either way thank you for writing (and adapting for different platforms) a great program and keep up the good work!

regards

There is a perfectly working and free UnRAR for Windows Mobile available from the RAR makers here:

The unrar for Android which I tested didn't really convince me, either they had some problems, or were slow, or restricted.

Initially the beta test will be only by e-mail, but there will also be a public beta in the market once the program is stable enough.

Hi!
- built-in text editor

(offtopic)Allways wondered why there is no such feature in main(windows) tc version...

(ontopic)I don't have android based device myself. But will tell about beta test to some friends who have.

I want to receive the app. but I canoot send an e-mail. How can I get it?

Because there is already a simple text editor in Windows (notepad.exe), and you can use one of thousands of replacements available. There is no default text editor on Android and Windows Mobile.

Once the beta is stable enough, I will put it in the Android Market and on my homepage (still marked as Beta). I cannot recommend to use it for every day work yet, that's why there is a closed beta test. Even if a version should leak out, I cannot recommend that you try it, the risk of data loss is simply too high.

I want to be a android tester

[ghisler(Author)]

You have to ask Google if you want to be a tester of Android, but I don't know whether they are looking for any testers.
