[Liverpool] Android version and apps availability on the app market

[Jonathan Archer]

I can confirm that those 2 apps are both available in the Android Market
on my phone, I'm running the latest Cyanogen mod which runs Android
2.3.4 so you may be right when you say that Android 2.1 may just not be
high enough level to run them.
