Finally the BigGrid client for the SonyEricsson P900 is available! It is still in the alpha stage at the moment but feel free to join the rest of our testers and be a part of the first and only wireless supercomputer.
The version for the P800 is slightly closer to a stable release version now and is available in a few flavours, for Personal Java or C++. If these aren't supported on your platform and you think you can help, join our band of worldwide developers and port it yourself. BigGrid is an open source project and we welcome your input.
Testers are most welcome! We cannot guarantee the stability of alpha code so we recommend that you take regular backups of your system if you are trying out the code. Unless you know what you are doing, we always suggest you wait for a stable release. However, the fewer testers we have, the longer it will take to get to a stable release. You pays no money and you takes your choice :)
The story you have just read (if you didn't just skip down to this catchy heading) is a big fat lie. But we are currently working on the development structure for the Symbian OS and for many others.
The Big Grid site is still very much a work in progress. There's certainly a lot of work to be done and it will progress faster the more of you that can help out. Let us know of your interest and talents via the Big Grid Society Forums. We welcome your input!
