I had a fiddle with some Estimotes for a research project last year. Managed to get some fairly inaccurate indoor location tracking going on Android using 4 beacons and some fudged trilateration functions, then did some cool location-based things with Philips Hue bulbs. Was a blast!

Keep up the good work, can't wait for the Android Indoor SDK! (I appreciate that it's more effort due to differences in device hardware, etc)

Thanks! Glad you experimented with beacons and Hue. There is already several apps that combine beacons with Hue: https://vimeo.com/91335074

When it comes to Android we have just released an update to our main Android SDK and app (you can read more here: http://blog.estimote.com/post/118119809840/announcing-an-upd...)

We plan to catch up with other SDKs for Android as well.
