Oh yea I forgot to mention you'll want to profile with your brightness set
to something specific. I made my profile for working at 100% brightness
which is convenient to set, but maybe a little bright. Then obviously I
have to use color profile aware apps like ufraw, gimp and eog.
The only serious barrier to adding a color management service to android is
buy in, apps have to make a call to use, but that does sound like a great
idea to get rolling. One day...hopefully soon I can work on some android
stuff.
