anyone going to develop a way to have animated gifs?

---

I love animated gifs. I get them in MMS, I go to 4chan and look at ppl do silly things, I watch radar in my browser sometimes. I miss being able to do these things. I could do them flawlessly on my touchpro 1 and touchpro 2, but on my moto droid NOPE!! so any developers out there that have some insight into this topic please help me, and everyone else who really wants this BASIC FUNCTIONALITY put into android.

thanks for listening to my rant.

If you could also please explain why the android platform does not have this feature I would appreciate it greatly.

Because the gif format is archaic, and Android is a forward-thinking platform .

well, if getting MMS attachments on your phone is archaic call me old fashioned then? I really hope this is supported. i don't see the point in leaving it out completely.

sorry for the double post. I found the bug page at google related to animated gif files. If you all could be so kind as to star this issue to get it bumped up higher I would appreciate it very much.

animated gifs are used for the hero builds' bootanimation, so android does support it, just not in its framework
