wootBot

I FINALLY released my Woot application for the Android OS. It monitors Woot.com, Kids.Woot.com, Shirt.Woot.com and Wine.Woot.com. I used a Service in this app to monitor these sites and several activities for the user to interact with the information downloaded. I chose not to use a DB for this app because its just a few files that are needed.

I've given the users minimal options to change, the obvious one is the time interval for updates to the app. I offer them an option to specify a shorter time interval for when Woot Offs are detected as well. I realize that some people do not want to monitor ALL the woot sites so I also gave the user the choice to choose which woot sites they would like to monitor.
