Does a timeframe exist for the creation/release of a mobile application that is supported by the Android OS?
I noticed an Authorize.Net supported application has already been released for the iPhone (http://www.authorize.net/solutions/merchantsolutions/merchantservices/mobileapp/) but did not see any mention of the Android OS.
Thanks.
