[aprssig] APRSdroid 1.0 has been released

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

I don't run Android, but http://aprsdroid.org/download/ has a link to 
the apk which I assume is the file you're looking for?

A friend of mine just asked me about Android this morning, so I'd 
appreciate any comparison input on the new version of APRSdroid and U2APRS.
