Read carefully, Andrew, very carefully. Notice Kyong said androboinc is just a manager that you can use to connect to BOINC clients. Many people are not aware that there is a BOINC client as well as a BOINC manager. A BOINC manager only allows you to control BOINC client. A manager does not run project applications, that's what the client does. Therefore if you were thinking you might be able to use androboinc to run tasks on a phone/tablet/whatever then no, that won't work, stay away from it. If, however, you want to leave BOINC client running on your computer at home while you go on a trip and you want to use your android phone/tablet/whatever to check on how that client is doing and possibly interact with it then you might try androboinc on your phone/tablet/whatever. But bear in mind neither BOINC client nor project apps would be running on the phone/tablet/whatever, only the manager (androboinc) would be running on the phone.
