Thank you. (Now, where do I get it?)

Thank you.

Will it cause my Sirius Radio to stop playing? I play it via XTerm.

Will Sirius.com work now?

It won't work. No sound in Android yet.

OK, so, it doesn't work?

Wow, this is complicated:
It works, except for things which don't have drivers yet. Strangely, in conventional speech, things without drivers don't work, but the OS as a whole is considered to work if it runs and is usable.

At the moment, sound is missing drivers, and some other things may be as well. (I'm not running it, so not sure.)

Since you asked specifically about cupcake, it seemed reasonable to suppose you knew about the state before Google pushed cupcake out, and wanted to know if the update had broken anything; it hasn't.

So, what does Cupcake do, where do I get it, and how do I know XTerm will continue to play my Sirius?

Cupcake was a branch in Googles SVN (or whatever they use) that they've now merged back into the trunk, so you don't "get cupcake", you just install Android.

XTerm won't continue to play your Sirius, because:
  1. A terminal emulator doesn't play internet radio very well in any case.
  2. There is no xterm for Android (I think).
  3. Whatever program you are running from your osso-xterm in all probability would not work on Android even if it did have an xterm, because there are no sound drivers for the Nitdroid kernel.

There is no XTerm, but there is some other terminal emultor though... :)
