droid The DishPointer Augmented Reality app for Android phones has been released. It works like on the iPhone. Just point it at the sky and see on the live camera screen all the satellite positions and the alignment details. You can easily determine any line of sight (LoS) issues and find the best spot for your dish.

You can get it either by searching for “DishPointer” on the Android market on your phone or by downloading it below and purchasing a license. Note that the app requires Android OS 1.5 and later, a camera, accelerometers (motion sensors) and a digital hardware compass.

How to buy it from this website:

DishPointer Pro QR Code

1. Download the app to your sd card and install it using an app installer (preferably, download the app directly from your phone using a barcode scanner)

Download link: DPARPRO.apk (v.1.6.1a)

2. Buy the license code using Paypal

Price: $19.99 USD

The username and license code will be displayed at the end of the purchasing process and also emailed to you.

3. Under settings, enter the username and serial number.

Notes: The app will not work until it is activated. You need internet access from your phone during activation. When you upgrade your phone or do a factory reset, please deinstall the license first from the settings. This way you can activate the app again on the new phone.

    I bought this app for my G1 a month ago but since I upgraded to the nexus one it doesn’t seem to work. Any problems with this app on Android 2.1 and any idea when it will be fixed?

    I own the HTC Touch Pro 2 and would love to have this app. Are you able to use this on that and if not are you going to release it for that phone. It runs on windows mobile. I would love to own this software but it nee to work on my phone. What are you doing to resolve this and how long. This is a big sales gap of customers
