ironic that FFF is an 'alternative to the regular music festival circuit', yet only creates such a nifty app for 'shill' iOS platform; it doesn't have squat to do with open source or not open source.
Factually, There are more Android users than iOS and this spread is increasing. It's pure cost cutting w/ a bit of laziness added in.
If the app was written in ANSI C or C++, it could probably be ported to Android quickly and cheaply (through a thin java layer), by using the NDK. If Objective-C, get hot; at least images and icons can be reused, but no sense going the lazy route FFF financiers. :p
I understand the complications involved in making an Android app (different devices run Android but have different specs making it a tad more difficult) but that Taco Locator shouldn't be reserved for only the iPhone... guess that's where Google Places comes in handy.

Money talks dude, open source software will always be left a little farther behind everyone else. I feel your pain.
