A brief discussion of some of the permissions Orange Squeeze requires:
The permission "READ PHONE STATUS AND IDENTITY" is used strictly to detect when calls are made or received so that automatic player muting will work.
The permission "MODIFY OR DELETE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR USB STORAGE MODIFY OR DELETE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR SD CARD" allows the app to download tracks to your external storage and also place the application's artwork cache on the external storage.
The permission "FULL NETWORK ACCESS" allows the app to connect to either mysqueezebox.com or your local Logitech Media Server installation.
This release is optimized for phone and mid-size tablet devices like the Nexus 7. It will work great on a larger tablet like the Samsung GalaxyTab 10.1 and the beautiful new Nexus 10, but it has not been optimized for them.
Tested in-house on the original Google Nexus One, Galaxy Nexus, and Nexus 7. Supported on all Android devices running 2.1 and higher.
Note that artwork in the screenshots has been intentionally pixelated. Your artwork will show up crystal-clear!
