Correct, but probably not a relevant question for this thread.  That
said, the torc developers are aiming to make their "frontend" client
compatible with mythbackend 0.25... it might be a reasonable
assumption that /if/ Robert's iOS app is released as a feature for
torc, that it may likely work with the next release of mythtv as well.
 Basically, the moral of the story is... If it does... it does... if
it doesn't, it doesn't.

... still not really relavent to Fredrik's effort of getting a client
working for android. :-)
