I want to thank LWCoder for the absolutely awesome work he has put into this app,

You can now find this app on the front page of GLBSE, and to make things easier, to add the API key we now show a QRCode, so no more blistered fingers from typing in the code.

Thanks Nefario both for your kind words and the QRCode. I made one for myself which I printed out while doing testing. I just tried the one onsite and it worked perfectly.

My only concern is the API function key part do they go thru your content provider(proxy?) ?

The API key is stored in your phone's account manager (you can also see it in the Accounts & Sync Settings for the system) and all queries go directly to the GLBSE APIs published on the site. I am caching a lot of data on the phone to provide quicker response times, but you should see a spinner in the upper right letting you know new data is being pulled. I have a timestamp showing up for the main list view, but nowhere else, that will be corrected soon.

Can you use the converter and get us a PlayBook BAR for this or get it into the Blackberry PlayBook / BB10 Store?

I can give it a shot. I have a developer PlayBook from the last promotion they did so I can test on real hardware (the simulator is terrible for converted android apps) and an account on the BB store to post it. I'll let you know what I find.
