IK Multimedia to demonstrate Android app...

IK Multimedia is claiming 2ms Round trip latency for Android devices. Debuting at NAMM 2015 in a few weeks...

Would this allow for a SAW / Android mobile recording app?

No, SAW doesn't run on Android.

I realize that....however....perhaps this might open the way for future development of an Android App?

I'm pretty sure that at the present time no android device has the necessary horse-power needed to make this effective and it would require a complete re-writing of the existing code.

I'm pretty sure the IK multi-media solution is an external box, with most of the real work being done outside the Android device.

This is also how most if not all of the iPad solutions work as well. The iPad is nothing more than a fancy controller and does not process any of the audio.

But if you're lucky, you can use the iPad's internal mic and ADC.

I'm not an Apple guy....No Mac/ iPhone/iPad/ or iPod...

Despite their flaws...I like the workflow of Windows and Android environments.

I think what I like most about this is that the title states zero latency (obvious nonsense), the first paragraph brings that down to "near zero latency" and then near the end of the article is states about 2ms round trip, which is obviously about average for many digital audio hardware devices these days.

That's an interesting statement. Care to elaborate?

While I'm sure the external box handles all the audio conversion, that is pretty typical of audio devices on every platform which has pro and MI level audio interfaces available.

I suspect the iPad or other tablet CPUs are doing plenty of the work and certainly all the I/O and storage handling is being done by the native device and OS. Lets not forget that the CPU power in a typical tablet these days is the same as the screaming desktop CPU from not all that long ago.

Think retro build...
