MINI Connected Question

My clubbie will come to me with MINI Connected with Nav. Have read through a bunch of the threads here, but am still unclear as to what I can expect NOT to work since I dont have an iPhone. I do have an iTouch that I will use for some functions until my phone contract allows me to upgrade to an iPhone (or until MINI lets DROID users have the full functionality of Connected)

So, my questions are:

will Minimalizer and Mission Control work with an iTouch or do they require an iPhone connection? Both of those dont sound like functions that need the internet to work, but maybe Im missing something.

Does anyone know if MINI plans to extend the functionality to droid and other systems, or are we still guessing that it might someday be the case?

here is a link to the owners manual, check it out it should tell you most of what you want to know.

as for droid use there is a thread here about how to use a droid with mini connected. Not the perfect solution but it works.

Awesome info! Thanks! (and am I searching wrong or what? when I search for this info, I got page after page of thread that seemed to have nothing to do with using a droid.)

The search function on the site is horrible.

I use Google Advanced Search and specify the site and it works much better.
