Android Name Resolver 1.0 Beta Release

[Santosh Jagade]

Dear All,
  
We are happy to announce the release of Android Name Resolver v1.0 Beta.
  
The calculator is published as a downloadable *.apk file which can be installed on any Android device.
The Name Resolver application allows the user to input the name of celestial object and returns basic information about the object such as RA/DEC values associated with that object and some other information such as redshift, proper motion,parallax etc (if applicable) using either the SIMBAD or NED service.
  
To access SIMBAD and NED, Android Name Resolver application uses system default internet connection; i.e. either Wi-Fi or GPRS.
 
The release *.zip file (including the *.apk file) is available for download at: http://vo.iucaa.ernet.in/~voi/voandroidresolver.htm
  
Features of the android application include:
    
     - Name Resolver runs on Android device locally (one time installation).
     - It resolves celestial object name to associated RA/DEC value.
     - It also provides Redshift, Proper motion and parallax values (if present).
     - The Resolver supports SIMBAD and NED services.
