No Android client

I had a look through the Android Market today (I have an HTC Hero, or T-Mobile G2 as it's branded) and found two popular LiveJournal clients, LJBeetle and one simply titled "LiveJournal blog client", although its name when it installs is SK-LJ. I tried both and found that neither supported Dreamwidth - they were both for the LJ service rather than any service which is based on LJ, and there have been other LJ-based blogging communities for years now. It would be pretty simple for them to support them, it's just a case of putting a selector in with some of the more popular services, or a text box so you can enter the XML-RPC endpoint.
I did a search for "livejournal android client" and found that
exor674 is developing a DW client, but I wonder if that is going to support blogging services other than DW? It would be so much easier to just put in an endpoint selector. After all, the Wordpress Android client has supported self-hosted Wordpress, and other WPMU hosts, for years.
