EDIT: "Each tile is 256 pixels square and the number of tiles across at each zoom level is given by this formula: Math.pow(2, zoom)"; ops I missed the word "across" :) How did you come up with that number? The sum loop that follows reports

Two use cases where it may be useful: 1- you snap an app from your friend's iPhone screen and tap on the Install button (i.e. app sharing) 2- snap an app from your computer screen (a review site for example) then Install/Bookmark

Check out also the FOX board that's actually built of a core module (cpu, flash and ram) plus a daughter board that brings out all common interfaces for prototyping (ethernet, usb, rtc, gpio, etc.). When you've finished prototyping and have
