Why aren't such apps (not sure exactly what you mean) "enabled" in Android etc?
- cageface 14y agoThe main issue is unacceptably high audio latency and the complete lack of any kind of MIDI stack. There's some hope that the audio issue at least might be fixed in 4.2 but even if it is it will be a while before developers can comfortably require that API level.
- vor_ 14y agoTo put it simply, in Android's current state, you will never see a competitive Garageband clone due to the latency and missing features of the audio technology in the OS.
