How many of you are (still) using wotc E-tools?

I am currently working on a Character display tool for my android phone, which parses the XML from e-tools.
if more people are interested in such a thing i might even think about releasing it.

or.. if people are using different character tools which are able to spit out xml, i could also take a look if i can integrate those as well.

the tool is quite nifty.
once your character is loaded, you can browse from left to right to the different pages (like the launcher app)
the main char page is configurable (turn on / of blocks), it includes ALL d20 reference material, so when clicked on a spell, you do not get the msg look at page 280 phb, but it actually displays the whole spell.

below are some screen shots so far

Nice work Arjan :)

About char generators, I mostly use(d) PC Gen:

Don't remember if it has an XML export, but I suppose it's one of the most popular tools out there.

it has some sort of xml export (openRPG etc)
the pcg files are text files (not xml)
but i am actually trying to see if i can parse them as well.. (lacking some java skills to do so.. but ill figure it out)
