'Port' would be the wrong term here...or for any iOS app. 'Clone' would be better...and then you can bet Old Man Steve would be around the corner with a patent or trademark lawsuit.

Garageband

I second the motion for a clone of this app, I played with it at Verizon while waiting for my Xoom. I hate CRAPPLE and would never waste my money on their junk, but this was a fun app.

I'm really interested in this also and feel the same way as the OP. Im looking to buy the transformer or the xoom but im have second thoughts because of GarageBand. I love Honeycomb more than iOS and I really don't want to get an ipad because of 1 app (nothing else lures me to the ipad) but do you think there's ever going to be an equivalent to GarageBand?

I'm guessing Garageband-esque apps are not optimal for phones so nobody has really invested much into it b4 honeycomb came out, but do you think big companies like Avid and Sony or FLStudio invest in an app? Those are professional level companies and therefore their products are really expensive, but I don't see any other companies going into this market.

If you guys have any other insight or ideas let me know, this is a real killer. I would love something simple and intuitive exactly like GarageBand to have around with my tab and dabble ideas in. Sometimes I feel like the reason for Ipads success is because of the creative apps it has and hopefully the honeycomb devs can do the same.

Well, I didn't even know what GarageBand was until a few minutes ago - but there was an app that I played with a year or so ago - but it was limited to 8 tracks to mix with.

Not that it was better than this, or even equivalent, but it's a start.

Otherwise, I would think it would take months to get a piece of software even close to this. Especially since Androids built in Audio Controls are pretty much junk(up to 2.3 at least, so maybe HC has better), so all the EQ adjustments would be incredibly difficult.

Port of Garageband app to Xoom ?

I'm extremely intrigued by this likewise and feel indistinguishable route from the OP. Im hoping to purchase the transformer or the xoom yet im have apprehensions in view of GarageBand. I adore Honeycomb more than iOS and I truly would prefer not to get an ipad as a result of 1 application (nothing else draws me to the ipad) yet do you believe there's regularly going to be a proportionate to GarageBand?

All things considered, I didn't comprehend what GarageBand was until a couple of minutes prior - however there was an application that I played with a year or so back - yet it was restricted to 8 tracks to blend with.

Not that it was superior to this, or even proportionate, however it's a begin.

Else, I would figure it would take a very long time to get a bit of programming even near this. Particularly since Androids worked in Audio Controls are practically junk(up to 2.3 at any rate, so perhaps HC has better), so all the EQ alterations would be fantastically troublesome.
