The only thing that has been opened up is the interface between the tablet or PDA, and the DKV.

Wish list?
For me it will be nice to have "MIDI radio" playing in my Mark II (or mark III) via my PC hardwired to the DKV (The internet is already Wi-Fi in my setup). I do not understand why Yamaha is not offering this software only MIDI RADIO player.
Besides, I understand that this would be offered only in USA, because of copyright issues, this would be very difficult (impossible? ) to control, maybe only in China.

Maybe something more specific than "Alternative to tablet and PDA for
MKIV" could be easier for newsgroup readers to understand what we are
talking about. But sincerely I can't find a good text for it.
I hope the author will answer to your message soon, even to know if
they are working on the project.
About Sourceforge: good idea. But before to start maybe it's better to
get a wish-list on this topic from this newsgroup to discuss the goals
. And we need to collect a wider support of people before to jump
there. Consider that it's difficult to find people that own DKV (and
interested in this project) outside this newsgroup.
About Flash: maybe it's the weakest tech in the project. It's a
proprietary language not very fitted to these purpouses, but probably
the easiest way to produce an interface without a deep programming.
The use of Flash inside SourceForge seems a bit off topic.... I'm not
sure it could be allowed there because SourceForge allows only open
languages. Maybe a porting into Java would be better. But we have to
find help from people skilled on it.
